However, Microsoft recently released their intentions to make the store business friendly, even for those with an overclocked CPU.

This is another exciting feature of Windows 10. It clearly supports division of Satya Nadella to make cloud and collaboration a top priority. With a Business friendly app store, Windows will have a single location for apps across all devices. Again, we are seeing the emphasis on one product, one platform, one drive, etc.

For businesses, the store will feature increased flexibility and control of the apps available. It will also provide enhanced security and update options for IT administrators. If things go Microsoft’s way, the store would replace company’s private portals for apps. This would be a cost savings to enterprise customers (as long as the transition costs are not too high). Furthermore, companies can create their own portal to still maintain a level of privacy and flexibility.

More interestingly, the store would allow device management capabilities. This would allow companies to take on a wider BYOD (bring your own device) policy with lower security risks, like the Biotech operating system. It would allow administrators to install, uninstall, update and manage app access or licensing.
