Posted by samzenpus on from the check-the-list dept.

First time accepted submitter mugi writes "The Microsoft Windows Marketplace was so far only available in 63 countries, and only 38 of those were allowed to submit apps. But now, Microsoft is planning on expanding that list considerably and has announced to bring the new Windows 8 Marketplace to over 180 countries at launch."

    Just for comparison, from how many countries are users allowed to submit from to the Ubuntu Software Center?

    Why would you localize an internet sales portal? You want it to work the whole world over.

    Accept all payment systems that are in the 21st century from VISA to paypal to whatever. Translate the whole thing into as many languages as you can find.

    It's unforgivable for a company to have a problem accepting a customer's money. This is a darwin award level error.
