Microsoft has released Windows 10 and a whole new development platform to build Universal Windows Applications that can be deployed across all Windows device families. Did you know that you can take your existing website and publish it to the Windows store? Microsoft has stated a lofty goal of having an install base of Windows 10 on 1 billion devices over the next 2 years. According to NetMarketShare the Desktop Operating System Market Share on September 21, 2015 showed Windows 10 at 5.21%. Compare that to Mac OS X at 4.76%. Join us to talk about Microsoft’s OS convergence journey and what that means for us developers. See how easy it is to take your existing website experience into the Windows Store.

- 33. What about IE? • IE11 will still be available for those cases where you need to access legacy web content, or for sites that use plug-ins such as ActiveX or Silverlight. • But for the modern web, for the most up to date features such as HTML5, ECMAScript 6 and CSS3 or 4, you’ll want to use Edge.

Editor's Notes
- Microsoft has been working to converge its client operating system and developer platforms for a long time. In Windows Phone 7, the operating system was based on Windows CE, a great operating system for small, handheld devices, but different from the OS on ‘big’ Windows. When Windows Phone 8 was launched, we swapped out Windows CE and base it on the Windows NT kernel instead, same as our PCs. We did a similar thing with Xbox One. But it wasn’t until Windows 8.1/Windows Phone 8.1 that we really delivered on a converged developer platform. You can build universal 8.1 apps that share a very high percentage of code and where you program against the same APIs. With Windows 10, we’ve taken that even further and for the first time allow developers to create a single app that can run across all devices running Windows 10. Windows 10 brings developers a unified core OS across all devices and a single app platform.
- So let’s take a look at the different ways you can build apps for Windows 10. <click> First of all there are the ‘traditional’ ways of building apps for Windows desktop, using tools such as WPF, MFC and full .NET. These are what we term ‘CWA’ (Classic Windows Apps) and are still a great way of building apps for Windows desktop. Although, note that we are working on some tools, called Project ‘Centennial’ that will allow CWAs to be packaged for distribution through the Windows Store – more on that later. <click> Then, we’ve got the new UWP, which is based on the Windows Runtime APIs that we used for building Windows Store apps in Windows 8.x and Windows Phone 8.1. Here you can use HTML and JavaScript to create universal Windows apps, or XAML and C#/VB or C++, or you can use DirectX and one of the many popular middleware packages to create games. And these all build upon the UWP APIs and can run across all Windows 10 devices. <click> Finally, we’ve got a number of bridging technologies. We want to enable developers to use whichever technologies they are comfortable with, and help them to create Windows apps. So we’ve got eh Windows Bridge for iOS, the Windows Bridge for Android, hosted Web Apps to help web sites to be discoverable through the Windows Store and to call UWP APIs, and a Bridge for classical Windows Apps. More on all of those soon.
- Before we talk some more about Microsoft Edge, let’s take a look at the history behind it. We released the first version of Internet Explorer in 1995 along with Windows 95.
- This was followed by a number of other versions until we got to IE6, which was the first version to have the dual engine, in other words the document type. At this time the goal was to maintain backwards compatibility with what we had before, and at the same time introduce new features. So this is where we introduced the DOCTYPE, which you can think of as a big IF inside your code. If you are in Quirks mode you get the new features, and if you are in Strict mode, you are compatible with what we had before.
- This was a time when the pace of change of the web was not as great as it is today. So we stuck with IE6 for quite a while, and then eventually released IE7 and then IE8. At that time it was considered OK for the browser to effectively support three different modes: the IE5 Quirks mode, IE7 mode and IE8 mode.
- With IE9, we introduced a fourth engine, supporting many new features such as HTML5, SVG, EcmaScript 5. By this time, your website code began to getting a little bit untidy, with if IE5…. If IE7… If IE8…. If IE9….
- But the approach now was the same as it had always been – provide backward compatibility with what had been before, but also introduce a new version supporting new features.
- And guess what, by the time we got to IE11, we realized that we had to do something. The approach we had been following has by now resulted in 8 engines inside IE and this approach is just not viable anymore.
- At the same time, other approaches were being followed elsewhere in the industry. This table represents all the different browser versions, and in the same timeframe that IE went from IE 1 to IE 11, Chrome for example went through very many versions, from version 1 to version 40. The only difference is that with each new version, they removed support for the previous version. They did not support backwards compatibility, so that with the release of a new version, perhaps some feature from earlier gets removed, and some websites that used it get broken. But that’s considered OK and how the web should work with a modern browser.
- So this produced some issues as well. With IE we had problems, because the web developer had to support IE6, IE7, IE8 and so on. But with Chromium for example, a very widely used browser on the mobile side, they had their own problems. As you can see here, the number of different versions of chromium that are out there in the wild at any particular time can be high, as they could not control which versions of the browser is being used on all the different devices out there. So you get a lot of fragmentation. So this was a problem for IE, and a problem for all modern browser vendors.

- Windows 10 provides a powerful new path for sites to become apps. With Windows 10, you can re-use your existing web site code and create an app that points directly to your URL. You don’t need to re-write your server code into packaged client code! You can access Universal Windows Platform APIs directly from the web code that came down from your server. And you can distribute the app you’ve made in the Windows Store.
