   Actually, yes, and it still might happen since this is an early look-see   
   at just the current GUI update direction and not the foundational   
   changes. What I suspect is that they will make significant   
   infrastructure changes that will put everything behind a pay wall, just   
   like Apple, disallowing sideloading of non- Windows Store software.
