Microsoft following Apple down path of app-store-only apps

http://j.mp/OG9YD2  (ars technica)

   "Overhauling Windows to make it usable with both fingers and
    mouse-and-keyboard is very much a response to Apple's success with the
    iPad and iOS. But Microsoft is imitating Apple in one very bad way, by
    limiting the distribution of Metro applications to a
    Microsoft-controlled app store."
