Finally get a peek under the hood here.
It was a nice move, the PRs and issues are awesome π check it out.
How can we benefit from it?

Yeah until I saw this tweet, if a simple calculator already collects "usage data" then imagine what kind of data Microsoft is collecting in other apps (Skype, Word, ...).
haha
Well now you can compile this on your Windows without telemetry on
Of course, it's extremely creepy. But to be honest, I wouldn't expect anything else from Microsoft. Also, at the same time NSA open-sourced Ghidra, so I have a feeling that Microsoft is just trying to hold the line, but Calculator? Compared to maybe best reverse-engineering platform ever created? It's just meh.
I agree with you that this was getting way to much attention for only open sourcing a Calculator application. Would be cool if they made the old Microsoft Paint open source.
Yes :)
yes, it's a really good news.
I'm not a c++ developer but I will definitely check the design patterns they use and how the software is structured. moreover I'm interested in better understanding the xaml bindings.
I think it's very important that Microsoft gives its contribute to the oss community sharing knowledge.
what do you think?
cheers!
actually microsoft contributes a lot to open source but this is kind of nice that it open sources one of its own.
On a side note: I honestly feel Microsoft has really been doing awesome lately with all things open source. GitHub lately seems to be getting even better than it was before
