> Perhaps the biggest lingering issue waiting to be fixed is the Windows store. Microsoft has been working on a new app store for Windows in recent months, and rumors suggest it will be a significant departure from what exists today. Nadella has promised to “unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and creators” with Windows, and the Windows store seems like the obvious way to do that.

My greatest concern is that Microsoft will attempt to lockdown their OS the same way Apple and Android have.

That would explain why they would release a new operating system when 10 was supposed to be the last.

That will be the death of windows. ChromeOS is not unpopular with users and at that point the user would have more capabilities on their computer.

Precisely. I'n quite excited to see if google will make chromeOS functional for development in the sense of a meaningful, non-scrapped together existence. Bringing real Linux programs out of beta is a start.

I’m not sure that will happen, they attempt it with Windows S and it went nowhere
