Microsoft is believed to be working on a new virtualized desktop experience called 'Cloud PC' to help administrators deploy and manage Windows 10 PCs in the cloud via web browser, mobile app or another PC. "I see the PC becoming more powerful, not less powerful"

Do they count as hacks if they get invited in?
It's either that, or you're a True Prophet(tm)!

Researchers at the MIT CSAIL have just launched a new tool, BuildIt, designed to make it easier for developers to create their own programming languages. Doesn't everyone want their own language?
If anyone is interested in this, I'll save you the search - original paper: http://groups.csail.mit.edu/commit/papers/2021/ajay-cgo21-buildit.pdf

Some time ago I wrote about how to package a .Net Winform application in a one-self contained file Ignoring all the DLLs, of course
"There are cases where a single file app will have more than one file. " Aaaaaaah, oooookaaaaay
|
|
|
|
|
That's been a thing since .Net was .Nothing. Use ILMerge, and you get a single file.

ILMerge... Pffft.
In Release build only, compress your .DLL's and load the compressed copies into the apps Resources. When needed, find the .DLL in resources and decompress to a MemoryStream and return the requested Assembly.
Results in a much smaller executable.

Microsoft Ignite is coming and the Microsoft Mechanics Twitter account is running a promotion where they are giving away a brand-new Surface Pro 7+ if you merely tweet using their hashtag. What's the first prize?
(Mostly) Worldwide - I'm surprised.

"Worth" is a relative term...

Visual Studio 2019 offers remote debug support for MSBuild and CMake projects targeting Windows and Linux "Reach out and touch somebody's hand. Make this world a better place, if you can."

Why do I expect you to post bugs and security holes regarding this in relative near future?

Survey shows DevOps on the rise, and may have helped boost IT productivity during the great corporate dispersal Well, we're doing 'dev', and we're doing 'ops', so that counts right?

In this post, and future posts, we’re going to discuss the WinUI and Project Reunion projects and how these aim to address this problem by unifying the Windows developer ecosystem. "Here be dragons"

The more I read about the future of Windows development, the more confused I become.

So it's another case of the New Way of Doing It (tm) being a new project/solution type that apparently doesn't have an automagic (tm) way to convert existing applications to use (assumption based on the xaml islands style interop reference[1]); and with an unspecified old versions of windows compatibility status. The latter makes me suspect it'll be as much of a dumpsterfire as MSes last few efforts[2] where the whole doesn't work on old versions of Windows thing was a huge impediment to getting developers to support it since they would either need to abandon a chunk of their customers or maintain the legacy app indefinitely in addition to the new one.
[1] Previously this allowed embedding bits of WPF inside a WinForms app; and might have allowed something similar with WPF/WinForms and UWP. Not sure, I never had an opportunity to play with it.
[2] Win8 apps not working on Win7, UWP not working on W7/8, and UWP feature updates being tied to W10 updates.
