This is correct and very common knowledge. However traditional apps can be linked from the store and regularly are already so no one is missing out.

- omegant 14y agoHow do you do that? So can still install the software you want on windows 8 or you need to go through store each time?
- luchs 14y agoYou can continue to install your things just the way you did in previous Windows versions.
- eckyptang 14y agoExactly that. I'm genuinely surprised at some of the things people haven't quite grasped about Windows 8. To put it simply: Windows 8 is the same as Windows 7 but it has a new interface layer (Metro) which replaces the start menu and adds an app store for Metro and normal apps. Everything you did in Windows 7 is just the same bar the start button.
- omegant 14y agoThanks, This is what I thought in may when I read about windows 8. But I feared I got everything wrong and actually every single app or soctware must go though the store and be controlled by MS , as if it were an Iphone. By the way we are developing an app that will be downloaded from our web. Now going to the store would be a trouble to us...
