[Qt-interest] Windows 8 Store

[Jason H]

It doesn't exist yet. But should.

The Ovi store is for Nokia phones. They have a great infrastructure. Nokia just 
needs to add OSX, Windows, and a Linux or two (RedHat/Debian) using the same 
stuff.

Then app authors will just link to the Desktop App store for sales. Nokia and 
the app authors then advertise, each in their own way. 


Sure it would never be as big as Apple or MS or Google/Amazon's Android but it 
would help Qt app authors... The attractive WIN here that isn't done anywhere 
else is you could get the same app on your phone as for your desktop. (Bundle 
Phone and desktop versions, pending application suitability of course)

Just a thought.
