Microsoft will begin accepting submissions for the Windows Store, its Windows 8 app store, when it unveils its Windows 8 public beta in late February. It also invited applications from devs to submit applications using the Metro-style touch user interface for inclusion in the Windows Store. The store is itself a full-screen Metro-style app built with HTML 5 and JavaScript that will give devs access to the 500 million Windows users worldwide, Microsoft said. Devs will get up to 80 percent of the revenue from each app purchased.
