What will happen to the Windows Store in Windows 8.1?
For those of us who purchased a Windows 8/8.1 RT tablet, we will never get an upgrade to Windows 10. Now, with "Built for Windows 10" (UWP) apps coming in left and right, many including Windows 8 apps that were ported to UWP, what will happen to the existing app store in Windows 8/8.1? Because UWP apps do not have ARM processor support and thus cannot run on W8, fewer and fewer apps are going to be available.
Will the most recent non-UWP app remain available in the Windows 8 store available for download? If so, these apps may begin to break as the developer implements server-side changes that the UWP version is being updated to handle.
Will they be taken down from the W8 store entirely?
Just looking to find out how long my RT tablet is even going to be able to be usable. I have a bad feeling it won't be very long.
