10 years of not having to deal with Win32 API (or any other Microsoft specific APIs) and I've never felt so good in my life.

I still don't really understand what UWP was supposed to be for, what problem was it trying to fix?
>what problem was it trying to fix?
Mainly the top level execs' problems of "not having an app store to get that sweet sweet 30% cut for each transaction."
appx packages are a good thing desu
some kind of sandboxed bullshit to make it easier to distribute apps via their store, support multiple architectures, etc ... I think.
but win32 is proven and nobody wants to move to whatever gay, unsupported nonsense MS has dreamed up next.
you forgot Silverlight.
