This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers.
Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.
If you want to be pinged with a reminder asking about your project, let me know, and I'll harass you each week until you cancel the service

Notes -
Honestly, I'm pretty sure Microsoft just doesn't care about Windows anymore, period. Their money-maker is O365 and Azure subscriptions, which they will gladly sell you on any platform of your choice.
I think they've quietly given up on Windows in general shortly after giving up on Windows Phone. After admitting they were not going to own pocket computing, they must have understood that their monopolistic hold on the software ecosystem was inevitably going to get shattered. Without owning the software market, they have to compete on the quality of the operating system, and developing a state-of-the-art operating system costs too much, and it's too hard to extract money from it compared to cloud services.
Add to that their multiple failures at taking control of PC game distribution which cemented, even before the Steam Deck and SteamOS, that gamers were going to follow Valve wherever they go, not Microsoft.
