[OT] Windows app store

[John]

    I currently have apps available via Apple’s App Stores.  I like the convenience of selling through them.  I was thinking of taking the plunge and selling Windows apps.  The closest equivalent I can find is the Windows Store that is available via Windows 8 (I don’t currently have a computer running Windows so I assume that this is correct).

    According to Wikipedia, they will accept both traditional Windows apps and Metro style apps.  Before I take the plunge and set up a Windows computer, I was wondering if anyone had and experience with the Windows store.  I know Windows 8 is a minority player but this seemed like a potentially painless way to go.  Who knows, perhaps Windows 10 will take off and I would be in place.

Thanks,
John
