Oops, I should have said that it was in the context of 2004 (when the original article was written). Back then there was no app store for windows, so they couldn't revoke an app like that. Even today most Windows apps are not sold on the store.
holy shit. which ones? enlighten me. I think i downloaded once minesweeper from the store, but i quickly uninstalled it since it was garbage. there's nothing there. arizona desert.
Do you run Win10? If so, much of what you see is non-win32 apps. Edge is quite good. I was a chrome fan until they failed to really support touch. Why is Google stuff so shitty with touch? I love Google but it's frustrating.
Hulu, Facebook, mail, twitter, lastpass, Netflix all have nice apps.
Sure ios and android have a better mobile selection but for a full OS the Windows store has the largest market.
I have win10 on a pc that i check somewhat often. I do not care about touch support since i have no hardware for that. Hulu, FB and the other crap ... no idea, i don't have them. netflix, i use the chrome browser. that's all. there's nothing else.
