Windows Store Is Now Open For Business & Paid Apps

In case you didn’t realize it by now, up until today the Windows Store had been filled with free consumer previews of apps. Today the switch was turned on for Paid App submissions. That means developers can start monetizing their apps. Company accounts can submit apps too.

Here is an excerpt from Antoine Leblond (Presumably a Windows Store Program Manager):

Today marks an important milestone for the Windows Store as we move from preview toward the general availability of Windows 8. We’re again expanding our market coverage, committed as ever to creating a developer opportunity of unprecedented scale. We’re opening the Store up for company registrations and are now accepting paid apps. Finally, we’ve advanced the Store design in response to Release Preview feedback. Ted Dworkin, Partner Program Manager for the Store, authored this post.
