Win32 applications, Microsoft said, it is difficult to completely uninstall once installed, even if the developer may not do. If you port your existing code to a Windows Store app using Win32, you can easily install and uninstall it cleanly.
To encourage developers to port Win32 applications, Microsoft has introduced a dedicated tool (Project Centennial). Currently, the upgrade push of Win32 applications is very cumbersome and may involve drivers. In addition, the user may need to perform some operations to complete. After porting the app to the app store, developers can easily push app updates, and they can choose to push in the middle of the night without the user's permission.

If developers choose to transplant, so they can take advantage of even more new features, such as Cortana Huna. After migrating Win32 applications to the Windows Store, you have a better chance of running in Win10.
The Build conference is mainly for developers' conferences. All the news in the conference may not have a direct impact on the public users. However, if developers choose the development tools provided by Microsoft, they have taken the step of porting Win32 applications to the Windows App Store. For the mass users, this means that their computer startup time will no longer be bloated. Dragged. Moreover, users in the Windows 10 app store will find it easier to find the apps they need.
There are many advantages to porting applications, but some developers are worried. Porting Win32 applications to the app store Microsoft will get some control rights from developers, and Microsoft has not deliberately avoided it. Microsoft claims that this provides protection for the application.
If Microsoft can encourage more developers to port their Win32 applications, it means that the number of applications in the Windows Store will skyrocket. There are currently millions of Win32 apps, and if all apps are ported to the app store, it will be a true one-stop shop!
