Pure Virtual C++ 2026 event is now live. https://t.co/4rltFwpQIN Highly suggest watching the C++/WinRT: Build faster and smaller with C++20 modules with Ryan Shepherd session!

[Ginny Caughey @gcaughey]

@l_anceM Well yeah! But I don’t even know baseline pricing.

[Ginny Caughey @gcaughey]

Pay-as-you-go pricing looks interesting, but even the AI assistant doesn't know what the pricing actually is.

@marbtweeting @LyalinDotCom Sunday is only one day, not seven. Some small retail businesses here are open on weekends and closed some weekdays.

My Surface Laptop is pretty sure it doesn't like this one despite several driver updates.

[Ginny Caughey @gcaughey]

@tusharsnx It’s not a new framework. In fact it will mix and match with XAML-defined UI in the future.

[Ginny Caughey @gcaughey]

Not a new UI framework but a new optional way to build WinUI apps

[Windows Developer @windowsdev]

Meet Microsoft.UI.Reactor: a new open-source project designed to reimagine the WinUI development experience. 👋

[Ginny Caughey @gcaughey]

@jerrynixon I think that’d be the most important use case. Having hand coded UI in the past, it’s no advantage over XAML for me.
