Will there be support for paid Store apps? Currently this has been a big pain point with the Windows Store for Business.

Purchasing apps from the Store for Business was a wonderful feature and it is a shame it wasn't loved more.
Whenever I hear of folks making decisions based solely on usage metrics, I think of speed limit and stop signs... take 'em down, no one uses them.

As a quick precursor here, this response is going to be slightly snarky. With respect to stop signs and speed limits, those are about safety and security and paid for by your (and my) tax dollars/euros/currency of choice. If you are suggesting that we increase everyone's Windows licensing costs to support a relatively unused service, then perhaps there's some discussion to be had. I don't think this is something customers would truly want but instead would want us to build a service and integration that folks can take better advantage of, meets their needs and requirements (usage telemetry and metrics are a direct reflection of this), is simpler and more flexible, and doesn't increase their costs.- RainerP250458Nov 01, 2022Iron Contributorvery well said!
