Submission + - Win 8 Metro taking Apple's walled garden approach (arstechnica.com) 1

gauauu writes: According to an article from Ars, It looks like Apple won't be the only one preventing hobbyists from using their devices the way they'd like. Microsoft will be taking a walled-garden approach to metro apps, only allowing enterprises and developers to side-load metro apps in Windows 8, while everyone else will have to go through the Windows Store. Note that this only applies to Metro apps; the model for traditional desktop apps won't change.
