It’s a remote desktop client, so it won’t. OP read only the title of the article
I was like, this has to be fake. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/microsoft-releases-a-new-windows-app-called-windows-app-for-running-windows-apps/
As I understood this is some remote running layer, while WINE is an emulator.
WINE is an emulator.
ಠ_ಠ
Wine Is Naturally an Emulator
Oh dear cheddar, what does WINE stand for?
(best quality I could find)
WIAE?
so by now even Microsoft acknowledges that it has lost the battle of making computing synonymous with Windows?
FOSS release of Windows when?
FOSS release of Windows when?
Can you imagine if that entire code got released tomorrow, without Microsoft selectively cleaning it up first?
I remember WinXP getting decompiled a while back and people thought it was pretty wild. Can you imagine Win8+?
Bet we’d find a few comments like
#Yes it's a massive security hole but don't ask questions.LOLI think we’d still be shocked at how much data collection it does. And probably how “I don’t know why it works but don’t touch it.” The code is. (It was written by people, after all)
I’ve always felt a lot of Windows’ “dependability” is really just slick presentation and the mystique of a black box that sounds solid when you knock on it.
But what bothers me so much, as a non-career-coder and DIY-computing learner, is whenever a corporate product breaks, everything is obfuscated with nonsense that is only meant for a company engineer.
At least good FOSS tries to tell you exactly where the issue is.
If Windows went FOSS I bet it would get a lot of human-friendly fixes…and MS would get a lot of new scandals lol.
Imagine Microsoft decided to open source windows they would act like mozilla firefox management or smth
Sounds awful lot like Citrix…
Yo dawg…

I hope its so they can finally end the legacy support for all the win98 software and end all “settings is actually a folder” non-sense.
