Tom Warren, writing for The Verge: Apple is planning to bring its iTunes desktop app to the Windows Store. In a surprise announcement at the Build developer event today, Microsoft revealed it has been working with Apple to get iTunes listed in the Windows Store. It might not sound like an important addition, but iTunes is one of the most searched for apps that's currently missing in the Windows Store. USA Today veteran columnist, summing up the announcement, "Microsoft announces that iTunes (incl Apple Music and full support for iPhone) is coming to the Windows Store. Big get for Microsoft." Microsoft's communication head, summing up the situation, "Didn't see that one coming, did you!"

It's what drove me away. I owned precisely one iPhone, and while there were aspects of the phone that I liked, after a couple of years of having to use iTunes I went out and bought a Nexus 5, and oh my goodness, I could just copy my MP3s over using a normal file browser, I could install VLC and play any damned video file I wanted, and while Android always feel a little rougher around the edges, it's not enough for me to ever go back to iDevices.
