Microsoft included its new app marketplace, called the Windows Store, with Windows 8. At the time, these "Metro apps" were only available in full-screen and many people ignored them.

As we've seen, Store apps have the advantage of living in a trusted environment. However, they're also more secure at their core than desktop apps.

However, others offer uniq...

Desktop apps offer superior functionality, but can have more confusing layouts.
