Maybe we shouldn't trust MS, but ourselves.
A MS controlled App Store is as bad or good as a Google or Apple controlled App store. Good for some peace of mind and trust, that they won't distribute malware ( ... already broken tough), bad for the fact that they control it we would still rely on the benevolence of a dictator.
- worik 6y agoYes, this. Some of us remember Microsoft setting personal computing back ten years by using their market power to foist sub par, frankly rubbish, system software on computer users. There is no sign they have changed their business practices. It is just now they are the underdog. Full respect is due to MS for turning their business around, but they are playing catchup now. If they ever get back out in front, watch out!
