Azure is the new darling "OS" for Microsoft, we are back into the mainframe/UNIX server days anyway.

Besides third party distributions, Microsoft now has three flavours of their own as well.

Azure Sphere OS, CBL-Mariner, then their Android flavours (althought it isn't really Linux) and RTOS like Azure RTOS.

Still owns the desktop, but since the internal political wars for the ultimate GUI framework started, I have started to doubt where it will all end.

Easy, Windows Forms, WPF, WinRT/UAP/UWP with WinUI 2.x, WinUI 3.0 for desktop, Blazor for WebAssembly, but also for web widgets in MAUI, and MAUI naturally.

Then in what concerns XAML, MAUI uses the one from Xamarin, instead of adopting the one from WinUI/UWP.

WinUI 3.0 is supposed to be the future, but has so many bugs and missing features, that Windows 11 is actually using WinUI 2.7 with UWP still.

All of those UIs catering for developer attention, makeing their point why their framework and not the one from another group.

Safest bets now are to stay with Win32, Forms/WPF or go Web.
