▷Windows 11 introduces a brand new Microsoft Store, here it is in pictures 🥇

The Microsoft Store is getting a makeover with Windows 11. Equipped with a brand new, more intuitive interface, it also improves its compatibility with different platforms and its commission system in order to finally offer a catalog that meets expectations.

During the Windows 11 overview conference, Microsoft focused on the many expected changes for the Microsoft Store, the operating system's native app store that has not been a huge hit with users until now. here. Could this new version be a game-changer?

Windows 11: new interface and an enriched catalog for the Microsoft Store

The Microsoft Store catalog is expected to grow significantly, which is a weakness of the current version. The Redmond firm has indeed announced that it has been designed to accommodate both applications Universal Windows App (UWP) than Win32, Progressive Web Apps (PWA) or other development platforms. A change in strategy after the failure of the UWP format, which has not convinced everyone, far from it.

Another way to attract software developers and publishers, removal of commissions for those who have the option of using their own payment service, which is an extra effort compared to what Android and iOS offer today, and who should push popular apps not in the Microsoft Store to sneak in finally a path. It has not been specified whether video games will also benefit from this exemption. We know the commission amount is 15% for apps and 12% for games that use Microsoft's payment platform.

One of the major novelties of the Microsoft Store is of course the appearance of Android applications, which can be downloaded and installed from the Amazon Appstore, which is highlighted in the new application store of Windows 11. Intel Bridge technology makes it possible to make the link between Android apps and the OS.

The Microsoft Store interface adapts to the Windows 11 UI. It is clearer and more intuitive, clearly inspired by what we find on the Android Play Store and the iOS App Store, and this is not to displease us.
