The original concept behind the original store was to try and standardise packages into a new and reliable MSIX derived format. With the new store the acceptance of Win32 apps, whilst it will increase the adoption by vendors, does not encourage those vendors to re-release their apps in MSIX format, creating additional effort on administrators to "repackage" those apps in MSIX to support delivery to AVD (via AppAttach), etc.
1. What is the roadmap for MSIX to improve the success rate of repackaging.
2. Will there be any automated conversion of Win32 apps in the store to MSIX (for admins to leverage).
