Microsoft has a responsibility to support decades-old software, which is why you can download an app or game made for Windows 95 and still run it on Windows 11.
Eh, debatable, some titles of the 90s might not run, even if you set the executable to run in compatibility mode.
My other concern is that WinUI surfaces have historically paid a cold-start cost when loading the runtime. Even today, File Explorer’s WinUI context menu gets criticized for exactly that. The WinUI-based Home tab in File Explorer is slower than “This PC,” which does not use WinUI.
M$ wondering why people are pinching their noses when near w11 when they’ve been slopping all over it. Release something broken, “fix” it later, only this is going way, way worse than XP (which needed 2 service packs to “feel good” and be safer), Vista (which needed W7) and even 8 (which needed W10)
IIRC they had to start overclocking your CPU a while back, when you right-click on a file so the Win11m rightclick menu loads faster than after like 8 seconds.

Yeah, this will be a vibecoded disaster.
