  <p>Brad, what if you build your own PC with newer CPUs? Are they supported under Windows 8.1 or 7? </p>

  <p>In regards to UWP – </p><p>As a dev it currently makes no sense for my company to look at UWP apps. 42% of our users are still in Windows 7, 6% are on Windows 8.1. Paul's idea that they could leverage Xamarin to target Android would probably be the only thing to make us actually seriously evaluate UWP. Add IOS to that mix and its a lot easier to sell to management. </p><p>Honestly, if they came out with a framework you could install on Windows 7/8.1 to run UWP apps, that'd help too. Obviously that will never happen.</p>
