Microsoft is open sourcing Windows 11's UI framewo...
Ironic that they're opening up all the new crappy stuff, but not the good old stuff like Win32.
Maybe they're scared of WINE?

Maybe there's no one there anymore who understands the source code? Guys like Russinovich are mostly focussing on Azure nowadays.
