I knew Windows 10X will make a come back...
A "lightweight" PC which is pretty much an oversize phone...

NEW: A leaked video has revealed Project Aion, an internal Microsoft effort that was exploring what a lightweight Windows OS could be if built from the ground up around Copilot and agentic AI experiences.

The video reveals a new desktop UI that places Copilot at the heart of the experience. The entire desktop is powered by Microsoft Edge, and the OS only runs web apps, leaning on Windows 365 to stream desktop apps from the cloud.

The video is from 2024, and it's unclear if this was just a hackathon project or something more. Either way, it is a fascinating look at how the company is exploring and experimenting with what the future of computing could be like now that AI is here. https://t.co/IzKfsdiZ4S

@sutrazhou @StevieHsia @auspiceshirley Windows也可以，不过明显两边这么干的人都不多。

@trungnt2910 You'll need to get a working toolchain, llvm-mingw should work but IIRC some fugging is needed but I forgot about the details.

@WithinRafael How would navigation work without XAML? It relies on XamlType.

[driver1998 @driver1998]

@CharlesFreemvn They provide deb packages for Ubuntu, the kernel driver adopts DKMS so it is less painful I guess?

[driver1998 @driver1998]

@HiTechLoLife1 Nvidia level, DKMS kernel driver with binary blobs, proprietary userland.

I rewrote the MIDL compiler for WinRT from scratch. 2.5x faster. Full LSP. Extensions for VS Code and Visual Studio.

I wanted better tooling for my own workflow and for every Windows dev's, so I built it.

[driver1998 @driver1998]

@Chris123NT Windows 10 is better in this regard, at least we have C++/WinRT and no need for the stupid developer license.

@never_released This might be the reason I switch to Mediatek for my next phone lol...

Seems like a lot of people still loves Windows 7...

Imagine RedPill still exists today and you can turn it off in Windows 11...

pre-80xx builds pretty much uses the stock Aero style from Silverlight/WPF. Going further back things are even more broken (see 7963 where the button's content does not render).

[driver1998 @driver1998]

The same tricks still works on 8102, not sure about later builds.

Two glcnd? well one is different with the other...

[driver1998 @driver1998]

Bonus: since this is just a normal EXE with no AppContainer flag nonsense, you can just run it.

And this is what happens when you run it...

This is what MessageDialog looks like at this stage.
