Heh,
There is actually a company policy that bans any newly created DLL or public API from having 'Ex' in the name. I learned about this some years ago when I named wuuhext.dll and a flurry of code reviewers pointed it out. I simply marked them all as *WONT FIX* and the name got through.

I heard they are merging it with Team Foundation and calling it "Ultimate WTF Platform", because new labels on old products is what its all about.

You are right... I pretty often think "WTF" when I look at some of lately Windows changes

Done right, this could be good news (Positive spin mode). UWP only worked on tiny devices that nobody bought and is a total PITA on everything people did buy / use. So dumping UWP and making existing apps work properly on "real world" devices could be a brilliant move.
They're going to automatically make Win32 apps look like UWP with a Ribbon, aren't they? And probably add Clippy.

Agree...
My concern is when we at the end find out what have they broken to make it in the "cool new way"

HOWEVER, you can still do it "the old way", because at its core, Windows still needs to maintain backward compatibility with the millions of existing Windows applications that are already out there. They've been trying to push WinUI for the last 5 years or so (since Win8 was a bad idea).

I, for one, welcome our new framework overlord.
Seriously, this sounds exciting because I won't have to ditch everything I already know about Windows development to use the new UI.

Microsoft has detailed how it's changed Windows 10 to wipe out a class of memory bugs called uninitialized memory vulnerabilities using a new security feature that has plagued users of games that employ anti-cheat software. Don't worry, they'll make more

Microsoft and the biotech company Adaptive are launching a new study on how the immune system fends off the coronavirus — and they’re paying patients for bags of their blood. Are they adding this to the Windows Defender virus signatures?

Swift 5.3 has recently entered the final stage of its development with the creation of the release/5.3 branch. One of the major goals for the upcoming Swift release is extending official platform support, including additional Linux distributions and Windows.

Beginning with Windows 10 version 2004, which is already available to OEMs and developers, the company is no longer offering a 32-bit version of the OS to OEMs for new PCs. I guess I won't be upgrading that 386 in the closet then

Really? I didn't even think that windows 10 had a 32 bit version.
I don't want to imagine how it will perform in old computers needing the 32 bit windows 10
