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, ...).
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 :)
haha
Well now you can compile this on your Windows without telemetry on
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.
