Microsoft wants devs to build Electron AI apps on Windows 11, says no need of native code, despite RAM concerns (www.windowslatest.com)

Electron apps are ruining the Windows 11 experience, and even the JavaScript creator has warned against ‘rushed web UX over native,’ but it doesn’t look like that will change Microsoft’s plans. In a post on X and other places, Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to AI in Windows 11 and encouraged Electron developers to consider using AI in their apps.

I wouldn't call Win 8 welcome, most people rather hated it. Then again, following Windows 7, which I the best of the bunch, couldn't have been easy. MS just bet that the future of Windows was tablets and the world replied "lol no".

Meanwhile the real future was smartphones and MS was like "lol no".

I remember having a conversation with an MS salesman whose job was to plug Windows Mobile 6.5 ... after the iPhone had come out. He had that sad quaver in his voice that people get when they know their task is futile.
