You know we are not as evil as Apple these days?

While Apple is facing huge fines over its App store policy, the software king of the world Microsoft has launched a new set of principles which make it appear kind.

Vole wants to provide open access to developers who meet privacy and security standards. The Tame Apple Press has been sulking that it is only doing it to win approval for its blockbuster acquisition of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard.

The $68.7 billion purchase, announced last month, was the biggest gaming industry deal in history.

Microsoft president, Brad Smith, told reporters he had previewed the app store policies with US lawmakers and received "a positive reaction."

"Our goal is to build what's called a universal store for games," he added. "In other words, a store that anyone can access on any device on any platform to purchase or download any game that a developer chooses."
