Windows 11’s snazzy new Store app
starts rolling out to Windows 10

T
he Windows Store has been
terrible for years (fave.
co/3oVaKSW), mocking
Microsoft’s attempts at a more
mobile-style integrated platform on Windows
- The company seems to have learned at
least a couple of lessons from its failures. The
Windows 11 version (now rebranded
Microsoft Store) is a notable improvement
when it comes to design, though still
“somewhat lifeless” due to a lack of overall
content, according to PCWorld’s Mark
Hachman (fave.co/3cdEtj3). Microsoft
apparently likes the new version so much that
it’s bringing Windows 11’s revamped Store
app to users still on Windows 10, starting now.
