In the Windows 10 environment, web apps will be closer to front-line software.
On May 19th, Microsoft will use a new version of Windows 10 and the browser "Edge" to manage web apps in settings like regular Windows software, and to add content to web apps in the same way as regular apps. He said it would be possible to share it. The company announced these changes at its annual developer conference, Build.
Named by Google, the Progressive Web App (PWA) makes a website behave like a traditional native app. For example, there are coronavirus.app that can be installed on a PC, and app.starbucks.com that allows you to browse and order Starbucks menus.
The coronavirus.app can also be installed on your PC or smartphone. In that case, it will be possible to operate more like a native application. Provided by: Stephen Shankland / CNETChuck Friedman, Corporate Vice President of Edge at Microsoft, said that while current web apps can seem unfamiliar with the operating system environment, the company wants to change that. "We are enthusiastic about making web applications feel native within the Windows environment," he said.
This feature is being tested in the "Canary" version of Edge and the "Release Preview" version of the Windows Insider Program.
These moves are part of Microsoft's active integration of web technologies in recent years. Microsoft's recent approach is in contrast to the 1990s' belief that the Web would erode the territory of Windows. Behind these changes is Windows becoming more competitive with mobile operating systems such as Google's Android and Apple's iOS and iPad OS. All of these mobile operating systems are being integrated with web technologies.
