I watched some videos about this upcoming technology by Microsoft but have no idea what they are talking about. Can somebody explain to me what you understand about this? What I know is WinForm is the way to go if I want to use VB.NET with Visual Studio. Otherwise, let’s stick with JavaFX and B4J.

It's part of the evolution of the previously failed Universal Windows Apps to be the new way of writing managed desktop programs that will run on existing Windows 10 and the forthcoming Windows 10X OSes. To begin with Windows 10X will only run these apps as the Win32 sandbox for running legacy programs in Widows 10X appears to have severe performance problems at the moment. It's intended to be the future of Windows but I can't see most people taking this seriously for some years yet, particularly businesses. I'll be sticking with WinForms, or WPF if I need 3D rendering.

I suppose Win10X is for tablet or dual screen Microsoft Surface.

It was initially but I believe it is now to be initially targeted at low cost laptops as a Chromebook competitor as a lighter weight, simpler to manage and more secure version of Windows.
