Microsoft’s Windows Store is a mess. It’s full of apps that exist only to scam people and take their money. Why doesn’t Microsoft care that their flagship app store is such a cesspool?
It’s now been more than two years since Windows 8 was released, and this has been a problem the entire time, and it is getting worse. If Microsoft was trying to offer a safe app store to Windows users, they’ve failed.
The Store is Full of Scams, And They’re Easy to Find
This problem isn’t a secret. Search the Windows Store for any popular app and you’ll see all kinds of junk.
The Windows Store is a Cesspool of Scams ? Why Doesn?t Microsoft Care?
I have run into some of those "Payed" Apps and after a closer look noticed that some of those real programs are actually free while as Apps you are asked to pay for them. Since I couldn't / wouldn't pay for them any way I gave them a slip anyway.
Did anybody else see any of those ?
