If you're interested in the lowlevel WDDM driver <-> VM driver mapping, seek to 1:18:01 -- it also talks about the compute APIs like CUDA and OpenCL.

If you're interested in WSLG, seek to 2:13:01 -- this is the GUI part of the story.

I thought Android doesn't use Wayland (and it definitely doesn't use X).

Microsoft might be working on an Android subsystem but I think this article isn't right on the technical details.

It's accurate, Wayland is already used in ChromeOS to display Android apps, of course Microsoft is just doing the same.

Remember Wayland is a low-level protocol, it's totally different from X11 stack.

Ah I had no idea - thanks!
