Ever since Microsoft launched its Xbox One console, the company promised it would allow any developer to develop apps for it — but until now, you needed access to the Xbox One dev kit before you could. But dear, it's for work!

There were not a lot of Windows Phones at BUILD 2016, not in the presentation or in the hands of Microsoft staff or attendees. 'Ouch', says the Windows Phone team (and that one Lumia user)

One of the more exciting things announced during Microsoft’s Build 2016 was just how easy it can be for developers to move their desktop Windows (Win32) apps over to the Universal Windows Platform. I wonder what would happen if you run the XP source code through it?

And that's the point at which they lost me.
Until we get the ability to deploy UWP apps to our customer's computers as easily as we can deploy proper applications - and without paying Microsoft for the privilege of doing it - UWP is a non-starter.

Yup. Microsoft is turning itself into a big plastic Apple.

Unlike in Win 8, you can freely sideload apps in win 10.
Windows 10 Allows You To Sideload Universal Apps, Just Like Android Does[^]
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's a step in the right direction, but it's still not as simple as the "copy files to a UNC path and run the exe" method of deploying regular applications.

It still looks less painful than writing an installshield.

Why would anyone in their right mind want to do that?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I see your point, but consider also we've few choices to avoid that.
First off, although many users wish to stick to Win-less-than-10, the pressure is everyday greater. As developer, I found many troubles (still have) on supporting older OSes than newer ones.
Secondly, it seems they adding new features (yet interesting) on the newest platforms, and that's reasonable. If you may afford to ship your apps/services without those news, then...yes, avoid any further upgrade.

JavaScript's standard library could eventually grow to reduce reliance on third-party packages -- but it'll happen slowly, says Eich. Everyone just downloads jQuery anyway

If the standard library were just part of the browser environment no "downloading" would be required except when the browser needs to update. It would just be another reason to update.

Apple on Wednesday launched a new developer-focused, experimental version of Safari for Mac, offering a sneak preview of features that may soon come to the browser for OS X and iOS. What's the term for when you announce something on a big news day so that people won't notice?

Microsoft's chatbot Tay may have suffered a racist meltdown last week, but the company is not giving up on AI. Based on the way the last one turned out, I don't think we should get Neville Chamberlain to speak with these

Windows 10 was the focus of Microsoft's day one keynote at its annual Build developer conference. Today, the company announced an update that'll ship this summer called the "Anniversary Update." Windows 10 - the 'real' release

I'm sorry, I must have missed the "flourishing". When did that happen?

The article actually touches upon the kernel. And if you think about the kernel flourishing (not the desktop software) then it maybe makes sense.
At least in light of Android being built on the Linux kernel. 
My forthcoming book, Launch Your Android App, is available for pre-sale at Amazon.com -- releases on April 1, 2016 (no joke).
