Last June, Ted Dworkin, director of Program Management for Windows Store, took to the stage at Build to show off a more visual shopping experience that will put the spotlight where it belongs: on the apps and games that developers have created.
The Windows Store team has been developing new features and tools continuously since the store first opened its doors last fall. With the launch of Windows 8.1 on Oct. 18, consumers and developers will be able to interact with the new experience firsthand. Redesigned detail pages will give developers a more visually stunning platform upon which to highlight their apps with increased merchandising capabilities, while search and recommendation features will make it easier for customers to find the best apps and games.
