Extra note (did not fit in the original submission)
To me, UWP is definitely a good thing, but it's soooo unpolished, the docs are so trivial (lots of documentation that simply mimics the API itself), everything looks like it's just been made to look good for some presentation, but beyond that, you're on your own. Not to mention they made that great "sandbox" without asking any one, no one really likes it, everything is 10x harder than without the sandbox, giving feedback to MS is close to impossible, and in the incredibly lucky case they MIGHT listen, it will probably be months before they develop a solution (which would work only from that Windows version onwards).
