I also use it to upgrade my customers computers from Windows Home to Windows Pro. I find that using it to get a new setup going is a good idea because you don't have to visit a lot of different sites to get some common software. I use it, but not really to find new or undicovered software. MSIs in would create a quick-boost in the available apps? With UWP apps no-longer such a priority (Win32 apps will be allowed to use UWP UI elements and APIs soon), surely allowing. MSI version of their app installers into the Store (especially given the Windows RT/10S SKUs never really took-of, where use of Win32 was restricted). I know there is a new Linux-style Package Manager coming (maybe that might be better?), but I do wonder why Microsoft doesn’t just allow companies to put the. Overall the Microsoft Store does come-over a bit pointless: you’d think 5 years on it would have more to offer.
