This is what's really annoying about the new Windows team. They often are so obsessed with doing new cool things to win back users, they often fail where Microsoft has traditionally proven superior: Careful, well-planned steps that maintain the utmost security and process.

WinGet, for example, was entirely automated approval for changes to app installs.

It took so much time to convince them was easy to compromise, and then they implemented some community moderators instead of hiring an app review team.




Killing C++/CX and replacing it with a developer experience akin to using VC++ 6.0 with ATL 3.0, or leave .NET Native to roten, is hardly the way to win back users.
