   If they'd told us that, we'd have considered it. But they just insisted   
   we could compile directly, without telling us how.   
      
   For a long time, you couldn't use the full C/C++ run-time in a Windows   
   Store app. They eventually changed that, and at the same time allowed   
   ordinary WIN32 apps into the store. So all interest in producing apps   
   that complied with the Windows Store limitations vanished.   
      
   C++/CX may have been the dialect that one of their consultants insisted   
   we had to support, but could not tell us why, except that customers would   
   want it. Since the customer who wanted the product in question didn't   
   want it, we were sceptical. Eventually he admitted that he got bonuses   
   for getting ISVs to do this, so we stopped listening to him.
