Starting w/ Visual Studio 17.12 P5, UWP .NET 9 projects will use the new standalone MSIX tooling NuGet package! We decoupled it from WindowsAppSDK to provide a consistent UX for both UWP and WinUI 3 apps and much easier to update! More features coming soon! πŸ‘€

Microsoft Apps
#NewOutlook has some of the strangest problems I have ever seen in an Office app.

New device, need to set my key remap I use all the time!

#PowerToys #Windows #productivity

Onboarding thoughts, some lack of polish during first run/setup of Microsoft not knowing who I am and what kind of customer I am to them.

Things like pushing Edge, when their data should show I am already an Edge user... assuming they'd collect that basic data about me.

And pushing for mor storage even though this account is already an Office 365 subscriber.

Not terrible, but just a clunky experience most Windows users are accustomed to. Overall a fine experience.

It arrived!! I'm excited to be joining the #WindowsOnARM and the #Windows5G crowd! #Surface
