Windows 8 will bring with it the most significant revamp of the Windows interface since Windows 95, and it will change the way software is developed and distributed with the Windows 8 app store.



From PC World:

Windows 8 is coming, and apparently its bringing a Windows 8 app store with it. Speculation that began with hints of an app store in leaked builds of Windows 8 earlier this year have been all but officially confirmed in a blog post from the President of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live divisions, Steven Sinofsky.

To be clear, Sinofsky did not say, "Yes. Windows 8 will definitely have an app store component." What Sinofsky did was to list all of the various development teams currently working hard to create the next generation of the flagship desktop OS. It just so happens that one of the development teams on that list is "App Store".
