WIN32 APPS IS READY ON WINDOWS STORE

Microsoft has announced that it is finally changing the way the Windows Store works this week, allowing third-party developers to easily bring their existing desktop apps and games over to the universal app platform.
Microsoft revealed that its Desktop Bridge is open, and that Win32 apps can now be packaged for consumption on the Windows Store or on anything that runs Windows 10.

Evernote, Arduino IDE, doubleTwist, PhotoScape, MAGIX Movie Edit Pro, Virtual Robotics Kit, Relab, SQL Pro, Voya Media, Predicted Desire, and korAccount are all available in the Windows Store this week, and many more are expected in the coming months. It's a change that could mean the Windows Store will be a useful way to truly roam PCs and quickly install your favorite apps.

As of today, many loved desktop apps like Chrome, Corel draw and Photoshop will not be available in Windows store, because it may take time for those developers to utilize the Desktop bridge, but it's actually worth the wait. A true benefit of desktop apps on Windows store is really catchy!

Before now, only code that conforms to the strictures of the Universal Windows Platform are permitted into the Store.
Allowing apps run on all Windows 10 devices was a big deal for Microsoft when it came up with the idea, because it hoped developers would love the chance to write an app once and have it run on PCs, phones, tablets, XBOX and even HoloLens devices. That idea was especially important given the rise and rise of mobile devices, which are now the primary computing devices for billions and therefore a platform Microsoft covets.
History tells us that Windows Phone just didn't happen, making mobilising apps appealing just not that urgent.

To benefit from this innovation, you'll need Desktop App Converter which is available in the Windows Store.
