Windows 8.1: the Windows Store finally powered
Microsoft has extended the opportunity to submit Windows 8.1 applications in the Windows Store until the last minute. A rather disturbing policy.
It is finally possible for publishers to submit the Windows Store apps for Windows 8.1. Microsoft has chosen to wait until the very last moment ... that is to say, the official launch of the new version of its OS yesterday to open up its market to developers. In August, the group had also restricted access to the pre-RTM version of Windows 8.1 to its own partners OEMs. It is only after an outcry from its developer community that Microsoft had finally decided to make available to MSDN.
A strange policy ...
A
policy which seems somewhat strange , the publisher has every interest
to prepare the ground ahead of the release of a new OS , to provide a
large number of applications optimized right out .In
the same vein , the 2013 version of the development environment
Microsoft Visual Studio, largely oriented Windows 8.1, is available in
the final version yesterday.Wait until the last minute to give all latitudes
It remains true that the Windows Store applications designed for Windows 8 (and even those drawn to Windows 7) are compatible with the new OS . But Windows developers would undoubtedly want to evolve their applications to include new capabilities of Windows 8.1. Examples include the ability to integrate a search engine in the apps (via Bing SDK ) , or the arrival of type interfaces snap views (which may involve reviewing the templates) .
This roadmap is launched in any case very different from Windows 8, launched there just a year ago. For this release, Microsoft had instead chosen to open submissions to the Windows Store several months before the general public release in order to feed the most . So why have opted for the opposite approach with Windows 8.1 ? Presumably to give the opportunity to make changes until the very last moment. Following the withdrawal of the mess around back then the Start button, Microsoft had no right to make mistakes ...
