The rule of thumb seems to be this: if iOS does it then Metro will do it too.

- ryanhuff 15y agoYou could also put it as: if consumers demonstrate an appetite for it on iOS, then Microsoft will give it to them too.

- rsynnott 15y agoOr, in fact, Microsoft will go one step (and not necessarily a logical step) further. There doesn't seem to be any question of a situation where, say, UIKit replaces AppKit as the modern way to write MacOS applications, and UIKit applications must be distributed through the app store. Microsoft, however, is pushing Metro as the new big thing for desktop apps, not just tablet apps, and Metro apps will be app store only.
