Project Reunion: Microsoft's attempt to tear down all those barriers it's built for Windows developers over the years

Re: Borkzilla looking for a new foot to shoot

Win32 sucks, devs don't use it unless forced. Almost everyone is just writing to libraries that sit on top of Win32. That's where Microsoft's focus is, if devs can use the new UI without having to throw out existing libraries, they're more likely to use that shiny new UI. Maybe Microsoft will finally port Office over... maybe.

P.S. I don't think Microsoft cares about Windows 7 anymore, usage is down to the level where they can just say "we told you to upgrade" and walk off if people complain about anything.
