Windows Store version planned?
Posted: 2022-12-26 20:21
Hello,
I saw this was discussed ~5 years ago already. Back then Win10 marketshare was not too big, while by now basically all Windows Users are on either 10 or 11. Almost all applications I regularly use are by now available on the store.
This allows for easier installs, cleaner uninstalls, Microsoft will handle the download server (-> less server load), but most important of all - my store will automatically keep the application up-to-date, together with everything else I have installed. It would be a huge convenience benefit for me, and probably thousands of other users.
I have no idea how much effort it is to have an application re-packaged and apply for MS to add it to the store, but I wanted to ask if this is something you are considering.
Kind regards,
Moritz
