this is a key people are ignoring. by moving the win32 mspaint from a native file on the filesystem to app-v/Centennial, it will be able to run on non-x86 hardware with emulation. in two years if Windows 10 S and Qualcomm dominate, having legacy apps available in the store will be a bonus not a burden. it will be similar to the OSX/Rosetta days.
- asveikau 9y agoThis is an artificial disinction made only by their confusing policy. There is no technical reason that Store has to be a gateway for emulating x86. And I am pretty sure for Windows RT they just compiled mspaint.exe for ARM.
