Windows 8 App Store Screenshots 131
syngularyx writes "The screenshots show Microsoft's new application store for Windows. The store appears to be running in Windows 7, hinting that the software giant may also be planning to offer its app store for legacy versions of Windows. Cnbeta posted the screenshots on Monday, however WinRumors is unable to confirm their authenticity at this time. The screenshots appear to show a number of Microsoft's own software, including third party software from Opera and Mozilla."

Personally if I could I would mod you down for not having the courage to post that as a real user. All AC's making meta complaints should be automatically modded down to oblivion, no matter how worthy the cause.

Make no mistake. The primary mission of Microsoft Research is to pull together some of the most talented and respected researchers in the field, supporting them in a comfortable, low-pressure environment in order to keep them from working for anyone else.
What they do at Microsoft is of no real concern, as long as they're not helping the competition.

Being that one of the other leaks was about their new authentication scheme, I'd say that more likely than not they will bust people with unlicensed versions of windows when they try to run the app store.

Bing the lame version of Google (seach , maps, everything)
Zune the lame version of iPod
Media Centre the lame version of iTunes
Windows 7 phone the lame version of iPhone (lame because OS can't scale even to iPad size)
The only real question is how lame will the Microsoft App Store be?
Will MS App Store be as lame as Ultimate edition Extras?
or as lame as Windows Catalog in XP,
or as lame as the get help with this eror link, which always says there is no help for the error?
