Recently the network has enough interesting screenshots of the tested new Windows 8, among whom was present and a photo with an image of the program window, very reminiscent of store applications for the OS (which, incidentally, as the name implies Windows App Store).
This means that the new version of its Microsoft most likely wants to run your own service purchase applications.
Once upon a time such a system “repo” storage programmes appeared in Linux-based operating systems. It is easy enough so that with just one click or a single command, you can immediately download the software from online repository (repository) and install on your computer.
Owners of such devices is convenient for offices of iOS may be familiar with the system package manager, which just searches on connected repositories and install the program. Therefore, do not have to waste time go and download the installation files, because all available programs are in one place.
In the App Store has also implemented a similar system, but it is not possible to connect new repositories. Later the program installation algorithm was implemented and the MacOS, so it’s not surprising that Microsoft has decided to take intelligent design — no one wants to be “white Crow”.
Also not forget and about the judicial process between Apple and Microsoft, which they assert their rights to the name of the App Store. Now it is already clear.
