The Windows 7 App Store with its Aero Glass design

(Before we start, I just want you to know that I put a lot of effort into searching for information, I love doing this, but I spend a lot of time researching, searching for information and writing, I don't use AI like others, I write everything from my heart, so please I would appreciate your congratulations, please share this blog with other people who like computer science and write a nice comment,  That would help me a lot. Thank you)

We all know the Windows store, an application introduced in 2012 with Windows 8, an application that was well received by some and poorly received by others for various reasons, basically it is one more application where you can get free and paid software for your computer, and to this day this store is still alive,  although it is no longer called Windows Store but Microsoft Store. Well, this store when it came out in Windows 8 had a metro design, obviously, it behaved like a normal metro application, it opened in full screen, it had a flat design optimized for touch screens and many more, but while I was walking around the internet looking for something to read or to research I came across a very strange but interesting publication.

It is a "blog" created by a certain Sanjeev Mishra for a page called internetTechies. The blog is titled as:

Windows App Store Images Leaked, beta expected for Windows 7

The title shows us that some alleged images of the future Windows 8 store were leaked and that a beta for the beloved Windows 7 is expected. The blog not only brings text, but I will give us 2 very interesting images that show just what they are describing in the text, here I am going to analyze them:

Screenshot 1

The first image shows us a screenshot of the supposed Windows App Store, this has a very nice design, similar to the design of Windows Media Player. It is an application that has the navigation icons as front and back along with the navigation panel on the left, but already realizing the central part of the image we can see the Live Messenger icon in a large empty panel, it seems that there would be text prioritizing the featured apps or something appreciated,  Already below this large panel you can see small tiles where the icons of the applications are shown and next to their name, category and developer, in total we can see 9 applications in the screenshot, where you can see things like Office, classic Windows 7 games, Internet Explorer and others.

In the screenshot you can see things like Windows 7 games, this leads me to think that maybe the games would no longer be installed by default on Windows, but you should go to the store to install them yourself, the same happens with Internet Explorer, which you can also see on the screenshot,  but now that I think about it, I think that they would come pre-installed on our Windows, but that from the store we can uninstall them separately, making it easier to uninstall things like Internet Explorer or some games that you don't play in order to save space.

It also seems that it would be mandatory to sign in with our Microsoft account, or perhaps it would be an optional option to obtain benefits.

Screenshot 2

In the second image things change, we are no longer on the home page but we are on the Apps page, most likely this page was to show us the apps that we already got from the store. The screenshot shows 7 applications, we can see 3 Windows Live applications (Messenger, Hotmail and Writer), also Internet Exlorer that we saw in the previous screen access, Windows Media Player and one thing that impressed me a lot, we have Word to Excel on this list, this leads me to think that perhaps it would be likely to install separately Office applications,  Just imagine that, when you install Office you are installed applications like Publisher, applications that you will never use, but from the Windows App Store you could install separately the Office applications you want, you would simply install Word, PowerPoint and Excel and nothing else, this would be very accessible and useful, thanks to the fact that we could save space on our hard drive, space that we will use in better things.

Conclusion

I really don't know if all this is real, the blog was published on April 12, 2011, and this date it may be that Windows 8 was not yet complete or they didn't even have an idea of what to do concretely, and that is that recently a few Windows 8 Betas were revealed that show us some interesting things,  maybe they started with some things like this, the Windows App Store, and if you analyze it well, we realize that the Windows App Store was in an early stage of development, we don't see much of it, even these alleged screenshots may have been a Microsoft concept for the future Windows, or maybe it was just someone who posted these screenshots,  which were a concept perhaps made by himself, saying that they were official from Microsoft. I spent some time analyzing the 2 images and I didn't find any writing errors, no nonsense, Photoshop effects, or any indication that it's fake. Unfortunately I did not find the official page from where they got these images, thanks to thatif you go to the link that is shown in the outside of the blog, you will not be able to go to the page since it does not recognize it or does not find it. nor did I find any other topic on this, no Microsoft statement, no YouTube video, no forum, nothing, absolutely nothing.

It would be great if this was true as it would be an epic discovery, since andie spoke about this, if anyone knows about the subject or found information please write me in the comments, thanks.
