Windows 8 App Store Screens Leaked

By - Source: WinRumors

When you talk about an App Store, right now that usually points to something Apple-related. Apple would love the trademark to that name, but Amazon's fighting that with its own "Appstore" and so is Microsoft – possibly because it will have its own application store soon too.

A leaked screenshot published on ZDNet points to what looks like a Windows application called "Windows App Store." This new feature is believed to be in the works for Windows 8, but the screenshot appears as Windows 7 in theme. If Microsoft were to launch an App Store that will be integrated with Windows 8, it's likely that it will also offer it as an add-on to the growing Windows 7 base.

    There is already a universal App Store for all operating systems, including mobile ones.

    Over 212,000 for Windows
    Over 31,000 for Mac
    Over 426,000 for Mobile

    It's called www.download.com and it's part of Cnet and it's been going since 1996, it has free software, shareware, trialware and purchase.

    Why the hell would you go anywhere else?

    Reminds me of the Ubuntu Software Center.

    The idea is good but that's ran by Microsoft... They're sure to use it against other software companies. For instance, I doubt they'll offer OpenOffice or Messenger clones for $0
