> If MS wants to take away from their market share

MS has actually already started to flag users not to install software from outside of the Windows store for "security reasons", in the latest Win10 updates. We still don't know how far they want to go with that idea.

crappy prediction:

Within 3 years, the Windows "Home" and "Cloud"[0] editions will be unable to install applications that are not from the store. Not even with a registry hack. Anyone wanting non-store applications will be forced to the "Pro" edition.
