I got tricked into installing adware as part of a java install, and took me many hours to get it back off my system. I don’t get why microsoft isn’t pushing all these vendors really hard to distribute through the windows store. The windows store is a graveyard compared to the mac app store, despite having a head start and a bigger target audience, and it’s basically impossible to use windows without sideloading apps. Microsoft is pushing windows S at people, where you can’t sideload software, but the windows store just isn’t ready for that and all it will do is push people to the mac when they inevitably have a bad experience.

Because nobody really wants to give the AppStore 30% of their revenue. Having it be a percentage of the revenue instead of just a flat fee means its just a money-grab IMHO. Ironically Apple is arguing in court that Qualcomm is doing the same thing to them (charging a percentage based on retail pricing) and that the price is unfair.

  Very soon it won't be 30% anymore. https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2018/05/07/a-new-microsoft-store-revenue-share-is-coming/ https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2018/05/07/a-new-micr...

  lol you're out here arguing that the people who are (without FULLY disclosing it) bundling malware that downloads and compiles DATs/unsigned binaries from anon domains are in the right, but you have a problem with Apple's revenue model for the App Store?

  You literally posted this elsewhere: > I'm not going to tell someone how they should make their living Be consistent. Don't tell apple how to make their living.
