Mary Jo Foley: I’m seeing some Windows users ridicule (and a few quietly pining for) Microsoft to do what Apple announced today: Create an Apple-like App Store for Windows.

Supposedly, that’s in the works, as some may recall from Windows 8 slides that leaked earlier this year. Remember those early-concept Windows 8 slides — the ones everyone believes Microsoft shared with its hardware partners (even though Microsoft still has not confirmed their veracity)?

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
