Microsoft Taking Apple's Walled Garden Approach For Metro Apps 389

Posted by Soulskill on Monday September 19, 2011 @05:10PM from the leading-from-the-rear dept.

New submitter gauauu writes "Microsoft will be taking a walled-garden approach to Metro apps, only allowing enterprises and developers to side-load Metro apps in Windows 8, while everyone else will have to go through the Windows Store. Note that this only applies to Metro apps; the model for traditional desktop apps won't change."
