Why should it be a blow?

The fact is that if they want to support Windows 7, 8.1 and macOS it naturally cannot be kept as UWP app, as their infrastructure requires Windows 10 features.

UWP includes Win32 apps, as well (if they play well with appx/ MSIX).

> What a huge blow to everyone at MS who believes in UWP.

That may be so, but is there anyone outside of MS who believes in UWP? Not even stalwart MS exclusive devs seem to do so.

Adobe XD is a UWP app.

It's important to remind folks the Universal Windows Platform includes Win32 apps.

Maybe there will still be a UWP version on Windows 10?
