Update: Here’s more information on the intel bridge. From Intel’s press release: Intel Bridge Technology will enable mobile apps to run on the PC. Intel and Microsoft are recommending Windows Snap and Thunderbolt 4 for “the best multi-monitor experience.” Intel Bridge Technology is a runtime post-compiler that enables apps to run natively on x86-based devices. The new Microsoft Store will be available to customers when they upgrade to Windows 10 or Windows 11. Users will get a notification telling them that the upgrade has been tested and validated for their specific PC before they get the free upgrade. Or seekers also can use Windows Update to check if it’s ready, officials said. It’s been a while since app developers as a group were interested and excited about building apps for Windows – despite the fact that Windows 10 is running on 1.3 billion devices. Microsoft is hoping these more liberal Store policies might generate some momentum for its Store. On a related note: if you’re wondering what Microsoft is saying today about the Microsoft Store for Business, I hear the answer is nothing. As I reported in 2020, Microsoft had been planning to get rid of the Store for Business and the Store for Education. Recently, it added some new restrictions to the Store for Business. But officials won’t say anything about what’s happening to these Stores or when.
