As a Windows and Windows Phone user, this is my take: Pro users and normal users both want convenience. For pro users, key shortcuts and cli serves this purpose. Take the chrome store for example. It's light-ish and loads pretty fast. It's very easy to download, store and distribute chrome extensions. The same cannot be said for the Windows Store. It inherits and extends every problem windows update. (Spits random errors that make no sense to normal users: error 0x239akd. The date on the machine, country setting, language setting can trigger errors.) The store is SLOW unless you're using broadband. Microsoft has made it virtually impossible to download, store and distribute store apps. With desktop apps, I can download the exe file on my work computer and install on my home computer - not possible with store apps. Originally, the windows store a font 9px download link hidden at the bottom. I once downloaded a 2GB game from the store only to get home and it refused to install. Summary: Microsoft has built several walls around their marketplace but are confused as to why people aren't rushing in.
