Apparently, it is all about Apple

The Tame Apple Press seems rather scared about the release of Windows 11 because, apparently, it is a direct challenge to Apple’s business model.

While the tech press who have not been trying to impress Apple for the last 20 years see Windows 11 as a bit of snooze, it seems that the new OS has rung some alarm bells in Cappuccino and the appropriate sources in TAPs been briefed.

Reuters claimed that Microsoft’s changes to its App store “took direct aim at Apple’s lucrative App Store business model”.

The new Windows Store will let software developers use their own in-app payment systems and pay no commissions to Microsoft. It will also let users find and run Android mobile applications on their laptops and PCs, thanks to technology assistance from Amazon.com Intel, thundered Reuters.

What appears to have gotten Apple’s Capra aegagrus hircus is that Vole is doing something a little different from Apple's "walled garden" approach. For those not in the know, Apple only lets users download software from the App Store and imposes controls on software developers, including a requirement to use Apple's in-app payment systems and pay commissions of up to 30 percent.
