Microsoft is forging ahead with its plan to try to unify the Windows app development space with its “Project Reunion” effort. This week, Microsoft took the wraps off the next milestone on this path: The second preview of WinUI 3. And officials also provided a few updated dates for its Reunion roadmap.
What is WinUI? Microsoft execs provided a handy slide (which I saw via @gcaughey), dedicated to answering that. WinUI is the native UI platform for Windows 10, which can be used to build .NET and C++ apps for Windows 10 devices. WinUI is part of the Windows and Xbox OS shells, and “many apps, plus platforms like Xamarin, Forms, and React Native for Windows,” officials said.
