Yet another way to throw money at the Micro$haft beast, for shovelware.

Yet another rehash of Windows Marketplace. I wonder how much effort is going into screening apps. How long before someone buys a rootkit through it?

o yay, another update to xbox. so far, its only gotten worse each itteration. the blades was the best, the second was bad, the kinect one was worse, and now metro... ill wait till i try it, but with expectations already as low as humanly possible, i cant see how they could do anything but be better than them... cant wait to see how they fail at even the low bar i set.

Ah yes, the "I'm to stupid to know what I'm saying" blanket hate statement.

Seeing as the App Store is just an Apple only version of what Cnets Download.com has been doing since the last millenium, I think we are safe
