Tim Sweeney is at it again, this time calling out Microsoft on Twitter for its rumored upcoming Windows 10 Cloud SKU. The new OS will be similar to Windows RT, in that it will run UWP that are installed from the Store. Of course, these are still early reports, as it’s not entirely clear that Microsoft won’t allow users to sideload apps as well.
This certainly isn’t the first time that Sweeney has taken a swing at Microsoft, or even the second. Back in March, he called UWP a « walled garden » , saying that UWP apps can only be installed from the Windows Store. He made similar statements in July , both times with Microsoft responding by saying that UWP is a completely open platform , and users can install these apps from anywhere that they want, as sideloading has been turned on by default in Windows 10 since November, 2015.
