"Metro makes it a lot easier for most developers to sell native apps on Windows." As long as Microsoft approves your app. I want my politically incorrect apps

  'K, I'm totally cool with the downvote. But I'd like to know, was the downvote (or votes) related to: - Pointing out that Microsoft has gateway approval authority is old and tired. - Using the term politically incorrect is old and tired. - Boobs (including porn, fine art, vacation pictures etc.) should be hidden. - Fart apps are too low brow. - No legitimate user needs surveillance evasion tools. - Microsoft has a social or corporate responsibility to prevent the spread of surveillance evasion tools. - Only unsavory users need to know how to make bombs, or learn about how people make bombs to understand those people. - Microsoft has a social or corporate responsibility to prevent the spread of information on bomb making. - Microsoft would never disapprove an app based on anything like the above. - Other. Yes, I am free to avoid the ecosystem as a developer and consumer, and honestly I probably will. But I think discussion of corporate throttling of expression is necessary.
