Microsoft has removed 1500 apps that they considered to be misleading from their Windows Store



From Neowin:

During the past couple of weeks, there has been a focus on the fact that Microsoft's Windows Store was full of apps that were misleading or offered no value; they only existed to scam consumers. Microsoft initially responded that they would take a closer look at the situation and is now finally making good on that promise.

The company posted up on the Building Apps for Windows blog that they are introducing new certification requirements to help thwart these apps from ever making it into the Windows Store.
