Microsoft does not want applications that contain the word windows in the microsoft store

The Microsoft Store has been from the beginning an attempt by the company to recreate the success of stores such as the App Store or Google Play Store. A place where users can buy applications. Although from the beginning it has presented some problems and still has aspects that need improvement. But, from time to time Microsoft makes at least curious decisions like the one they have just made.

Microsoft does not want applications containing the word Windows in the Microsoft Store

The Windows app store doesn't have many relevant apps. So this decision may not help. Microsoft is going to require developers to remove their app from the store if the word Windows appears in the name of the store.

Microsoft makes a controversial decision

A somewhat controversial decision that may not help much to the popularity of a store that has never finished taking off. The American company has communicated to developers that they must remove the word Windows from their application. Otherwise they must withdraw this application from the Microsoft Store. A decision that is already generating controversy.

Developers of applications like WindowsArea.de and DrWindows have received this notice, like the one you see in the image above. They have received an infringement notice that has caused the apps to be removed from the store.

The truth is that for many it is an inconsistent decision by Microsoft. But it appears to be an attempt by the company to protect its brand and products. So if it is, it is somewhat understandable, although it may have been executed in a somewhat awkward way.
