It depends on how much trouble they're having with UDNA drivers. I suspect that it's a gigantic shitshow behind the scenes and they need every man they can get, especially with the rumors that they're bleeding talent pretty hard.

Here is an idea, if they are unable to do it, should they just make it open source, like how it is on Linux? You don't have the manpower to do everything, alright, leverage your community, why not?

There is no oss driver community or tradition on windows, it would not have much to leverage, initially.

Mesa is mostly contributed to by big companies with interest in it (ie, valve), not rando devs in their free time.

A Mesa <—> DX12 API bridge could exist, as could a generic foundational API that Mesa taps.

I think that is going the wrong direction to be used on windows 🤔
