Keep in mind that the APIs available to UWP are better than those for apps using old tech in many areas and those areas will only become more important. I'm not sure that it will ever be what Microsoft hoped - not for a long time at least - but I would expect interest to increase over time.

With Windows 7 and even earlier versions still being so prevalent, you really are reducing your target audience by using UWP.

when Windows 10 is the dominant OS by a margin. I expect that we'll see more interest in UWP once a decent majority of Windows devices in the wild support it, i.e.

There were a bunch after Windows 8 came out and people were speculating about Windows 10. A dock is something that several concepts have shown. If there is one thing I really want Microsoft to do is make the taskbar a dock by not having it "hinged" to the screen and getting rid of the empty space between apps and clock. Microsoft can't just make everything shiny and blurry and say "That's good, right?" I like the desktop concept presented in this article. And the icons seem to be fashioned around the Office app icons which doesn't seem appealing. Are those outdated though? Can you go back to the way it was after you tried to do something else with Live Tiles and the competition has made their own version? I know it's terrible to say, but maybe the Start Menu is outdated. It seems they are just reinventing the taskbar and Start Menu. This means that Windows 10X will likely never ship, but that a lot of the Windows 10X UX will ship as part of the Sun Valley project instead.īut we have seen it used at the Surface event.

Microsoft announced earlier this year that Windows 10X had been postponed beyond 2021, and that it was instead prioritizing bringing the best of Windows 10X over to the full version of Windows. This is already how UWP apps work on Windows 10, and Microsoft will be extending that to Win32 apps on Windows 10X when support for Win32 apps arrives. All apps on Windows 10X run in a container, and need explicit permissions to access things that are outside that container. This means that malware or viruses can't get in and affect the system, because those programs are only able to operate in a single partition, and that assumes they're able to get outside of the app container system Microsoft has built. The only thing the user and applications can access are the user partition.

So OS files are locked away, as are app files, as are drivers, and the registry. On Windows 10X, everything goes into its own read-only partition. Windows 10 today installs everything into a single partition, which means the user can access system files, as can apps and potential attackers. Unlike Windows 10, Windows 10X featured something called "state separation" which is how the OS lays itself out on a drive. You no longer have to hit the specific Start button to access your Start menu. On tablets, users can now swipe up anywhere on the Taskbar to access the Start menu, making it easier for touch users to access their apps list.


Large is great for tablets, while medium and small mimic the usual sizes we already have today on Windows 10. In addition to the new design, there's also up to three different Taskbar sizes: Small, medium and large. There are some new animations the Start and Task View buttons have their own animations when clicked on, and there's a subtle bounce to app icons when you minimize running apps to the Taskbar. When you open an app, the Start and Task View buttons gently spread apart, giving the Taskbar a much more fluid appearance. The Start and Task View buttons appear in the center, with running and pinned apps appearing between the two. Windows 10X also had a new adaptive Taskbar that features a centered design.
