Recent leaks of windows 8 has revealed its own app store.The screen shots of the app store has surfaced in several websites already.Mac OS enjoyed app store and rivaled Microsoft for long,even android had a app store and which was responsible for runaway hits like angry birds( a game for android).This will be a huge bonus in security sector as the downloads will occur from *trusted* servers and thus there is low chances of malware download.However millions of windows apps are in wild already so its unlikely all apps will get a place in the app store.may be the publisher might need to give a *loyality* to Microsoft in order to get listed
