Well, the Windows 10 Store that nobody uses is dead. While Apple & Google Very successfully got dev's interested & contributing to their stores, Microsoft failed. And sadly, that means that we, as Windows users, lost. That's because Windows software, unless it came from that store as a UWP app, is too often an ugly, terrible mess, not unlike unruly Kudzu vines choking the life out of the OS. Windows 10's store OTOH may have been Microsoft's last attempt at doing something for individual Windows users, rather than corporate drones, because UWP apps were restricted, somewhat sandboxed, and completely went away once you uninstalled them. Too many [by no means all] Windows software developers don't care about that sort of thing -- if your system messes up because of something they did, that's your problem -- so anything that meant learning, or possibly more work, or maybe more importantly, a slice off the top of their profits, was of course ignored.
That's not to say the store won't be there in the next version of win10 due next month. That's not to say it won't be there a year from now. It's more like Microsoft has given up pushing it & the UWP platform -- if someone wants to write a UWP app, fine, and if someone wants to put an old win32 app in the store, fine, 'cause we don't really care anymore -- we're tired of pushing. Us users ain't worth it. Who knows -- maybe some day the worst offending devs will figure out where all their negative karma comes from?
