Microsoft announces at the Build Conference a new Windows 10 app converter

We always get a lot of interesting information from Microsoft from the Build Conference and this announcement should make some software writers happy to see some extra help coming from MS to convert the programs to be compatiblewith Windows 10.

"Project Centennial enables you to take your existing .NET or Win32 applications and distribute them through the Windows Store, while also enhancing them with the new device capabilities," said Microsoft Windows exec Kevin Gallo.

The "Project Centennial" app converter allows developers to easily convert legacy Win32 programs into Windows 10 compatible apps. This means that .exe and even .msi files used on older OS like Windows 7 can be seamlessly transformed into the AppX format used by Windows 10, and then be put on the Windows Store.

This should be available soon to members of the Windows Developer Preview Program.
