At today's Microsoft Build conference (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/29/build-2015-liveblog/), vice president of operating systems, Terry Myerson announced that websites can now be placed inside a Windows 10 universal framework. In other words, developers can make a Windows 10 app out of their site. The site-based apps can be listed inside the Windows Store and support Cortana notifications and in-app purchases. Building these apps is pretty simple according to Myerson. Couple this with news that the company is helping iOS and Android developers port their apps (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/29/android-ios-apps-on-windows-10/) to Windows 10 and the inclusion of .NET and Win32 (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/29/desktop-apps-are-coming-to-the-windows-store/) apps in the marketplace and it's pretty clear Microsoft really, really wants you to start using the Windows Store.
