windows 8 is one of thee most confusing Os's to date.
the crApp Store is so difficult to use, please help me clear things up;
1) it seems to me that each version of wibdows 8 has its own app store and it seemse that if I am logged in under my local account that I will get different apps then if I am logged in with my Microsoft account Is this true? if so why?.
2) I try to search for an app and can never find it, but yet, I can go to the apps website and get a direct link to the app store, click link, link to the store, and install it.
Again, Windows 8 is horrid when it comes to the App Store. why why why is it so flakey?
I have 7 different windows machines (not because I think win 8 is great, it sucks) however,
if I go to install a free app or purchased app, it forces me to unassociate one of my systems, even if that app is not used on the machine. This is so *ffing confusing. Why is it set up like this. If it is free I should be able to use it anywhere on any machine and not even be associated.
I also hate when it shows free apps as purchased apps when they are not indeed not purchases. grrr,
3) Also, is there a way I can just view my Microsoft account to see what purchases or registered items I have made?
with regards to purchased upgrades, purchased apps, or items I have currently registered with them?
If not then why can't I?
any other business Acer, Newegg, Amazon, etc. can provide transactions histories, why can't Microsoft?
