The app store for Windows 8 has an air of Mac App Store

Microsoft has decided to integrate a Windows app store 8 to like what is already found in Mac OS X since version 10.6.6. This is shown by the Chinese site that published EnBette screenshots that were taken up by several sites. The service is currently named Windows App Store. Microsoft might still have to change their name if Apple wins the case and convinced the judges that the term App Store is not a generic term, but part of trademarks in Cupertino.

The graphical interface is likely to change before publication of the final version of the operating system. For now, there are tunes Mac App Store and Download Center Ubuntu with a big sign promoting applications to one, then a grid highlighting the new software and a list of programs that sell best.

Nor has escaped the resemblance to the press. These new screenshots in all cases seem to corroborate the rumors of an App Store for Windows 8, which had surfaced last year (see "Windows 8: a big leak that says a lot").
