    I think in the end, MS really does want to find a path to dropping
    legacy apps in general. They've had several attempts so far, I think
    they were just a bit early, and too restrictive with Windows RT.

    I'm not sure how successful they'd be. Might push some to Linux. :)

    Won't legacy (16bit/32bit) apps that depend on dates all break
    in 2038?

    Not necessarily. Less likely from the Windows ecosystem, dates are done differently there. Windows systems and apps may have different date related issues though.
