I think the only hope for Windows universal apps is to backport them to Windows 7 and 8. It seems Microsoft&#x27;s plan was to use the free switch to Windows 10 from these to get enough market share that developers wouldn&#x27;t mind moving to universal, but that hasn&#x27;t happened; unless you want to target only ~10% of Windows desktops you&#x27;re going to need to choose a different platform.
