Windows OS app dream.
- Install once.
- Stay up to date forever.
- No disruptions during updates.
- Even as a limited user.

Like Google Chrome update mechanism.
But available for everyone.
And implementation that takes a few minutes.

Coming soon.

I'm tired of seeing AI-generated images in blog posts. Writing a blog post is personal and unique, and the thumbnail should amplify that personality. But those thoughtless, lazy, and same-looking AI-generated pictures completely ruin the desire to open the post and dig in.

I’m curious about these apps that works only in App-V. Can you share more?

We stopped using WixToolset and built Master Packager Dev to build the MSI package from our source code.

We will focus on solving all the problems we know from packaging thousands of applications.

- Pricing (it's free if you have non-commercial app)
- Quality
- Speed
- Complexity
- Deployment

As I have said and shown for years - MSIX is not ready.
Actions from Microsoft prove that even more.

MICROSOFT STRATEGY - STATEMENT We will continue to evaluate and balance MSIX and App Attach investments with longer-term ambitions to close the gaps with App- V, but we recognize it's currently not a complete replacement, and we need to renew our commitment to App-V to put our enterprise customers at ease and unblock their migration to the cloud and to newer Windows versions.

From Andreas Nick at #MADDAY:
"Microsoft announces the end of the #Appv exit at our #MADDAY. The client will remain in the operating system and the 2026 end date is off the table!"
