Microsoft leaks plans for a Windows 8 app store
From the documents we've seen, It looks like the store will also include social features and app recommendations to help users with discovery and help app developers with sales. Neowin speculates that the whole thing will be powered by Microsoft Azure, the MS cloud OS, to help attract Azure developers.

Consider the obligatory "Developers! Developers! Developers!" chant added. Anyways, I would like to see all the awesome existing stuff in Windows 7 to be put to use. I want to see better integration with the existing technology frameworks Microsoft provides.

Obligatory:
I thought windows already had an app store: the internet.

I would like to see two things:
Custom repositories. I would love to have a source for Microsoft sanctioned apps, but also have the ability for people to host their own repositories.
One click installation and removal of apps.

I'm totally not interested in any way of purchasing anything in a microsoft app store. Or an apple one for that matter. Not on my phone and especially not on my PC.

I think the concept is good simple for building trust for customers. Instead of having to hunt over the internet for software, even the most computer-illiterate person out there could find all the software they needed in a simple store and not have to worry about any deception within the programs

if they want it to be successful they should give it to apple to do it for them!

I wonder why Microsoft chose 'Fabrikam' as the name of their imaginary example company.
It means 'my factory' in Turkish

They should try to balance the division line between Android and Apple apps by screening all submissions before allowing them to the store, and not screening for content, but for malware and spyware.
