Excited to start posting and engaging here👋.
I lead the Windows Platform + Developer team at Microsoft, where we spend a lot of time thinking about what it takes to make Windows a great platform to build on.
I’m looking forward to sharing more of what we’re building, how we’re thinking about the engineering behind it, and what we’re learning along the journey. I’m here to listen, too. If you build on Windows, I’d love to hear what’s working, where there’s friction, and what you want us to be thinking about.
I love seeing WinUI becoming more and more enterprise friendly

It looks like Apple got the memo that people really care about privacy. I doubt I'd enable many of the new features anyway though.
