Microsoft is open sourcing Windows 11's UI framework

Thanks for calling it out. I get OPs passionate disdain for Microsoft but one must remember that the world is built on contributions from such people. Take the whole Linux and GNU ecosystem for example. We’d be lost without them.

Maybe the biggest beneficiary will be AI/LLMs - which will become way better at creating Windows UX after this.

I don't know if that's quite what you meant, but I believe that this is the first time that I've heard of AIs being treated as a beneficiary and an "end" in themselves.
