Windows 8 is going to be a tablet OS as well. Makes sense, unlike the Mac appstore.Quote:

I really like the idea of an app store, I suppose this is where you can download your add-on tiles
actually the mac appstore is really handy...Quote:

For a better article.
Thanks for the article Matt.
I'll admit I don't and never did use ANY app store on any platform for its intended purpose of purchasing applications. the OS X store, the iOS store, Android Market I all use but I only use it to discover new apps. I then use -- well -- other methods of obtaining said apps!
Oh cool. I guess you pirated snow leopard and lion as well then? You're probably pirating Windows as well just to troll us.Quote:

I can understand doing it to larger companies if you genuinely can't afford it but don't steal from the indys.
