They started an app store? They're in entirely the wrong market position for such an endeavor, they don't own end user relationships or have any software platform to leverage, let alone software expertise. In fact would have likely suffered a strategic tax of wanting to favor their own processors. What a dead on the water idea. Definitely not the first time Intel has forgotten to stay in their lane.

They have huge contracts with all OEMs and make the drives for their chipsets. Planning to add that appstore to it as bloatware and having an installbase in the hundreds of millions quickly wasn't that crazy.

I thought they would succeed-ish enough for me to register as a developer for App-Up. Alas, they didn't.

Developers: easily neglected by hardware manufacturers.

Platform fails without them, though.

Announce a platform, intending for it to fail? Big fish like Intel are masters at this now.
