    Windows hasn't fundamentally changed since Windows 7. It's all just a
    skinning exercise so that the vendors can sell more hardware which
    supports the 'new' windows.
    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.

    apple doesn't disallow non-store software and has stated on many
    occasions that they aren't going to do that.

    on the other hand, microsoft tried that with windows 10s, but had to backpedal and call it a 'mode' of win10.

    Tim Cook has claimed in an interview with Brut that if Apple was forced
    to allow sideloading of apps, as Android does, it would destroy security
    and privacy of iOS.

    Nospam is correct regarding non-app store applications. I think the aps
    that came with my Mac are the only App Store protrams I have on the
    system. Caveat: There may be an application on my Mac that was not in
    the App Store at the time I installed it.

    Similar to Windows File Manager. When I installed it, it was not in the Microsoft store, but it is available there now.
