Oh wow, Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)!
The Amazon Appstore on Windows and all apps and games dependent on WSA won't be supported starting March 5, 2025.
Any apps or games you installed prior to today will still be available through the deprecation date.

was it really that useful as a developer tool? the Android team provides emulators that run on all platforms (pretty sure they use qemu). it would be nice to eliminate the VM overhead if this is run via some container (still would need to run x86 which may or may not be an issue), but my gut says the people using just the emulator to test don’t care to go out of their way to configure something else, or ya know just have a test device.
my impression was that they wanted to target this as a consumer platform for running apps on the desktop
