Windows Phone Marketplace can remotely devaluate app licenses

Given inclination will only run properly-licensed apps, this effectively equatesto the company will be able to close down apps remotely — the capability they’d probably plead if the Marketplace app were to badly messaround en masse, for e.g.. To put it bluntly, Cseri says that apps simply aren’t in control of their own holdup cycle; a user controls installation as well as removal while a Marketplace ensures that the permit is valid.
On a related note, you know which Microsoft has a array of not-yet-finalized “commercial operation, technical, as well as content” discipline for usurpation as well as rejecting apps submitted to a Marketplace, as well as we’ve got the quite interesting case: apps have been being “disheartened” from using the phone’s Behind symbol. They’re being so strongly discouraged, in actuality, which Todd Brix — comparison director of mobile platform services product government during a company — told us which apps can as well as will be straight-up rejected for using Back for anything though dismissing dialog boxes. We won’t know a full rulebook until Microsoft releases it in May — but in the meantime, don’t worry creation anything a swell controversial with those free tools, eh?
