Suspected PayPal Hackers Seek Deal To Stay Out Of Prison
Did A Google Earth Mistake Cause A Couple's Brutal Murder?
Windows 8 App Store images leaked?
We've got our doubts about the authenticity of the image. In addition to showing several of the built-in games which already ship with Windows, Opera is listed -- and a competing browser seems like an odd inclusion this early on. Of course, with the browser ballot still in place in the EU for quite some time, Microsoft would probably need to include rivals like Opera and Firefox to stay out of trouble. We're also not sure why Clickgamer is shown beneath Angry Birds instead of Rovio -- the game's actual publisher.
It's still early, of course, so it's entirely possible that the Windows App Store image is genuine but merely using placeholder images and text for now. Anyone else thinking Windows Marketplace might be a more logical name? You know, to keep things consistent with Windows Phone and keep Apple's legal eagles at bay.

I'm calling fake. For one, they would be calling it Marketplace, not app store. Also, it's not using any of the newer icons that have shown up in some of the recent leaks.

@KeegdnaB Well... It is still in development. Perhaps the App Store team hasn't got the updated icons just yet?

Fake. Bad layout, even for early release. Probably a stunt to gain publicity for the fake angry birds publisher.

This looks to be fascinating, but it falls in line with Microsoft's new screened applications option… makes sense, but is this the model? I believe not.
Microsoft really needs away to combat the other market places within it's desktop market; this could be a way to round out their application offerings. AND screen applications for malicious code— making Windows a bit safer. Who knows?!

Surely this screenshot is PSed. I don't think it's a real one. Because, check out this picture, you will see nearly all editions of software are clear, such as Opera 11, Windows 7, Office 2010. Why not it show us IE version? It may be 9 or 10.
What's more, why the top banner of this page is nearly blank except a MSN big logo? I believe if it is a real app store screenshot, there will be something on.
See my blog , http://windows8tm.com/review/windows-8-app-store.html, there are still some hard issues that Microsoft must face if it wanna setup Windows 8 App Store. And I believe it is useless at the beginning when Windows 8 Beta comes out. Because I don't see Microsoft is employing someone for this project.

Through what agency do your friends procure painless Auto Parts Warehouse Coupons lines? We are still attempting to take care of the problems with that. I suppose that you'll be like minded on this issue. I can see how this would work with so many Auto Parts Warehouse Coupons. Fox News made a salient point germane to this recently. There may be no doubt about that, but overall the theory is really sound. I sense that isn't rehashed info. This was a real collectors piece. Where can sharp people spot noted Auto Parts Warehouse Coupons webinars? That will be good for this. I required a fresh perspective. I say let mere mortals make that call for themselves. That's incorrect. Seemingly, did you ever hear of it?

Do you feel like you're being led to the slaughter? It is well worth investing time into learning Dell Coupon Code. It is why I'm creating my own Dell Coupon Code. Despite everything, I am all over the place. Who would a thunk that, huh? I recommend that you do so. To separate yourself from the crowd you'll have to find something out of the ordinary to hang onto. They should remain informed. Novices are going to gather less of you if you do it. I'm in great shape. I feel as light as a balloon.

This essay explores that complication. I do cogitate that I would not find a lot more to say with reference to CheapOair Promo Code. CheapOair Promo Code may be the last thing on your mind, but your CheapOair Promo Code doesn't clarify this to you.
