> It's one codebase and it compiles to: Web Android IOS MacOS UWP WIN32 (only one that uses electron)

So unless I decide to switch to Windows 10, I will have to use the Electron version of Microsoft Office? I don't have many issues with JS itself, but frankly, looking what you did to Skype, I'm afraid of the final result.

Those are product decisions someone like me can't actually confirm right? I just know that the purpose or the goal is having a single code base, single toolchain, many targets. I just know I've heard of all of those targets being experimented with! A bit early to assume anything, especially from lowly me!

If you cannot provide actual information, why would you start rumors and make vague claims?

Why is somebody "lowly like you" doing PR and insulting people [1] on hacker news?

Sorry I offended. These aren't rumors just things we've been blogging about, etc. and I'll own being unclear. The Electron and UWP bits are things we've tossed around internally. I don't want to give more details because then it's more then I really know, which is unfair to the teams really working on it, etc.
