Microsoft has published a new document on GitHub to clarify the goals of ‘Project Reunion’ and what it consists of.
As ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley reported recently, Project Reunion aims to unify Win32 and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. The effort is an attempt to clean up problems created by Microsoft with ‘modern’ UWP apps on Windows 8 in its bid to compete with Apple’s iPad and figure out a strategy for apps on smartphones.
Customers saw legacy Win32 apps as being for “real work” while modern apps were considered dumbed-down, ZDNet’s Ed Bott notes.
