Microsoft Lays Out Money-Making Options For Windows Store Developers

Posted by samzenpus on from the price-guide dept.

tsamsoniw writes "With the release of Windows 8 just around the corner, Microsoft is eager to see its Windows Store well stocked with third-party, Metro-friendly apps. Hoping to get developers on board, the company has announced pricing structure, along with guidance and tools to help developers create trial versions of apps and set up lucrative in-app purchases."

    The only thing you really need to sign in for is to use the app store. You can always just use f-droid which is an app store hosting nothing but Free apps and you can download stuff from around the web. You could also go here and just use the Amazon app store. Don't forget too that the Nexus 7 can be bootloader unlocked with a single command so you can load whatever you want as long as you can find drivers.

    Actually, I just got a Nexus 7 tablet. M$ is done for. Apple should be scared.

    I don't think they have any reason to be worried just yet given the shoddy build quality, screen washout/ghosting, stuck pixels and poor support. Maybe one day, but certainly not now.
