There’s an Adult Friend Finder app (I’m not recommending the service, but it exists) available via the Social category that doesn’t show up here, under either search term. Based on these results, I can’t tell if Windows Search simply doesn’t understand what I’m looking for, or if it there are no apps available. While this might seem to obviate the point of an app store, it’s a short-term solution that would reduce user confusion. Microsoft can’t make other companies produce apps for their software, but the Windows Store could offer to search online with Bing or the default search engine. This is an area where the Store would seriously benefit from a little intelligent search engine integration. There are other problems like this, again, in virtually every category.
While it’s true that Microsoft can’t wave its hand and create apps from companies like Twitter and Facebook, there are steps the company could take to improve the Windows Store and help customers navigate the often-confusing application situation. Some of this is due to a relatively small app selection, but that’s an inevitable problem for any company that launches a service like this. The blunt truth is that two months after launch, the Windows Store is still in rough shape. We’ve been keeping an eye on the Windows Store since the OS launched - with the Christmas holidays upon us, and the two-month anniversary approaching, we’re circling back to investigate the status of the Store. The company was confident enough of its abilities in this sphere that it decided to lock Windows RT devices to purchases made within the Windows Store, and made WS-exclusive distribution a requirement for any Metro x86 products as well. When Microsoft built Windows 8, it bet that it could create a Windows Store experience that would rival competitors like Apple and Google.
