News & Reviews:   Microsoft Store

When you download apps on your phone, you either use the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. But did you know that there are similar stores for Windows PCs? The one that we all have is the Microsoft Store, and it's now getting expanded with third-party app stores.

If you're a Samsung user, you may have tried mirroring your phone to the Microsoft Your Phone app before. The two companies have a partnership on the software side and that is being expanded on. In fact, sources say three more apps are heading to Windows 10.

As we close in on the last month of the year, companies are starting to talk about plans for 2021. For Microsoft, a big Windows 10 update is expected next year, along with the release of Windows 10X. But sources also claim that the company may consider adding support for Android apps for Windows 10.

Microsoft Malaysia has sent out the invites and it looks like Malaysia will be the first country in the Asia Pacific to get their own Microsoft Store. Located at Suria KLCC on Level 3, the Microsoft Store will offer users first hand access to Microsoft products like the Microsoft Lumia smartphones and Surface tablets along with the various accessories for each of Microsoft products available in Malaysia. If you're looking to get some hands-on time of your own, do swing by on 9 May 2015 at Suria KLCC. Rumours indicate that this could mean that we're finally getting local support for the Microsoft Xbox game console, but these are still early days and we can't confirm that just yet. In addition, Microsoft have also opened up a Facebook event page stating that you could also win 2 tickets to Paris. We expect more prizes to be also up for grabs so do check them out for yourselves.
