Which I suppose is understandable if you only look superficially. Some of the applications mentioned haven't been updated in a while, and the list itself was last updated at the end of 2013.<br /><br />However, many of the applications have recent updates and Bruce McGeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952420043727301654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632155395382281903.post-90633720857148516392017-04-18T14:33:03.667-04:002017-04-18T14:33:03.667-04:00It's 2017.

Do you think that UWP is going to change the world or something? <br /><br />It only works on windows while the world has already moved to web based applications. On mobile devices there were some delays because of limited sandbox APIs and performance, but it's just a matter of time before the web makes app stores useless on mobile devices too.<br /><br />There's still a Wouter van Nifterickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516752706481322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632155395382281903.post-65707886784718970942017-04-18T14:02:03.123-04:002017-04-18T14:02:03.123-04:00Mostly minor and aging application many never hear...Mostly minor and aging application many never heard of. Skype is moving to an UWP application (a full, real one, not a repackaged one), thereby it will be no Delphi soon. And UWP packaging will make tools like InnoSetup irrelevant.<br /><br />Keep on living the illusion, though.....kmorwathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09172645304608198662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632155395382281903.post-52012055810462493662017-04-18T05:07:48.820-04:002017-04-18T05:07:48.820-04:00Smart Mobile Studio is also written in Delphi.
