Added 2020-12-06 21:15:31 +0000 UTC
Hey all! I'm releasing two episodes this week:
Monday: Krazy Ken's Tech Misadventures episode about virtualizing Windows 10 on an M1 MacBook Air
Thursday: Krazy Ken's Tech Talk episode about Quibi and why it failed in only 8 months ($1.75 billion later…)
Today, however, you get early access to Monday's episode. Enjoy!

think of it as similar to snapd on linux

The app binary and any resources get packaged in way that the application can run in sandbox with a virtualized file system and registry. For UWP apps this format has always been required, but Microsoft has made it easier to use the format for other app types as well (including Win32). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/overview
