Now, watch them try to do this in a couple of months with the Windows 8 store, which is the only place to purchase "authorized windows 8 apps" and see how many people either "jailbreak" their PC's or flee to Linux or android devices en mass.

To be complete, please check the other side of the story from a major developer: http://pastagapp.com...oft_calvin_ball

Microsoft changed the rules overnight and took down the apps within 24 hours of notice to developers.

In the meantime, Microsoft advertises for porn unfiltered with Bing on the Windows Phone! (proof in the link above)

Double standards, poor ethics showing by Microsoft.
Is that related to the recent departures of high profile figures from the Windows Phone team? (ex: Brandon Watson leaving for Amazon)

The real solution that Microsoft failed to address is to actually create a protected "Adult" category.
