In theory. In practise, the store was, and is, full of shit. Junk apps, because MS paid people to push apps out. Junk apps and scams, because MS does no review or policing. Even Netflix had to go to MS 3 times in order for them to block fake Netflix apps. Other companies selling well-known programs have told me they simply cannot get MS to respond. Search for "Game of Thrones" right now on the Windows Store. Or WinRAR. Microsoft doesn't even verify their "publishers" are actual companies, have valid URLs for the store listing (most of these junk apps just go to "http://" http://"). It's been and remains a joke.
