It works well and ties into windows decently. It also is covered in less shit than it used to be. But it just needs more attention from developers and pushed over just running exes and msis.

I'm a PC guy but I like the app store on MacOS, iOS and Android. It works really well, with android, iOS and windows having options to install differently.

A centralized update and install location is a great idea and works brilliantly. If Windows Store could get more attention and get up and running then that would make things a look easier and smoother. Not having 24 update services running on your PC but instead like 3 plus the rest via Microsoft store would be great.

And that wouldn't be to replace exe's and msi's but work alongside.

I still don't get why M$ can't have a linux-style repository... I legit thought that was what the M$ Store was supposed to be.

Even that, they really needed to curate their shit better.

Hell they should have a service, paid by the developper, where you could get your app "Microsoft approved" so that it would be in a different section of the store.

That way I could make it so meemaw and grandpa can actually download VLC on their new PC without pestering me for half a year until I fly over for Thanksgiving.
