Hell no. Whats wrong with plain old win32. Compiled software will almost always be faster than interpreted JS. Do we need a new system? UWP is more or less a flop, but the old way still works.

Now, I don't use windows on a regular basis, but clearly something was wrong with the UWP UX design.

But we don't need to replace it with a web based version of everything. Imagine electron based apps for your calculator....they'll be very very resource heavy.

Office 365 sure is impressing from a technical standpoint. It's also frustratingly slow compared to desktop Office, in my experience.

lol am sorry JS is like a weed which can not grow much taller than the browser platform.

I’d say that The JS weed is growing the browser platform. But yes it’s a weed.
