My exact reaction lol. These companies are so focused on the short term it's ridiculous.
The amazon app store didn't have a complete app store and it was a big workaround to get apps to run that are not on the amazon store.
They halfbaked the release and killed it becuase of that.
Microsoft's really trying to steal Google's thunder with that move.
It's interesting that you should say that. Maybe they had to cancel it because they realized there were some legal implications and that the new antitrust enforcement environment would keep them from being able to really follow through with the WSA.
