| - Windows Store is an digital distribution platform developed by Microsoft Corporation as part of Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 for apps in Metro along with Music and Video starting in Windows 10. The Windows Store also allows developers to advertise their Win32 or traditional desktop applications. It supports both free and paid apps, with the paid apps ranging from $1.49 to $999.99. Developers are able to offer free trials. The Windows Store was available concurrently with the release of the Windows 8 Beta, which was in February 2012. In Windows 10 Builds 9926 and on offer a new Store Beta next to the Windows 8.1 Store, the only difference is Store Beta offers beta tests from Microsoft, shows apps from Windows Phone, and in Builds 10041 and on, it offers Media Content. Store Beta has a Gray Tile. On September 13, 2011, day one of the BUILD developer conference, Microsoft's Windows President Steven Sinofsky announced the Windows Store app and its features and demonstrated the store. Although the publicly available Windows Developer Preview includes the Windows Store app, it does not function and simply displays a "coming soon" message. The Windows Store will be the only means of distributing Metro-style apps to users; the official reason is to allow Microsoft to scan apps for security flaws and malware. The Windows Store will take a 30% cut of application sales. Once an application reaches $25,000 USD in revenue, the cut drops to 20%. In-app third-party transactions are also allowed, of which Microsoft does not take a cut. Individual developers will be able to register for $49 USD, and $99 USD for companies.
