(Microsoft is making an app store for some future version of Windows, as a vehicle to sell said future version of Windows?)

  Probably. Similarly, the Mac App Store is only available for Snow Leopard and above.

    Its what I anticipate. I also anticipate it being a flop. On the other hand, the Chrome Web Store is in-your-face when you start Chrome, and Chrome is reaching bucket and bucket-loads of consumers and business users running already-released versions of Windows. This doesn't have to look and feel like browser widgets.

      ...and they're all downloading browser widgets. I guess my core concern is that people don't want everything in their browser. If they did, Chrome OS would have been a fantastic success.
