Unnecessarily biting reply. Microsoft investor perhaps?
What a strange thing to say lol.
I was pointing out that you asked why they would do something while answering why they would do something straight after.
Your post came across pretty harsh.
Also, you probably didn't read my whole post. The point I was making was that the primary reason to use React Native is for cross-platform development, THEREFORE it makes no sense to use it for the Windows start menu because what would be the point of porting that to another OS?
To use it on other OS’s, like Android.
Windows start menu in Android?
Yep, just a matter of time if you’ve been paying attention. They’ve given up on Windows mobile, but not on Windows on mobile phones.
Ok, that doesn't make sense to me, but Microsoft is pretty aimless these days so I won't say it's impossible.
Imagine a galaxy z Fold but with what looks and behaves like Windows when you use the internal screen, or a Galaxy Ultra that when using Dex on a monitor looks exactly like Windows 11.
Could be. Let's see what happens.
