There are so many apps I might buy if I could try them, but I will never buy apps that I can't try. The ad model sucks and the lite model (2 different apps) sucks.

You should be able to install, use for 3 days, then it would get deleted from your device if you don't buy it.

The Windows Store supports a built-in trial model for premium apps - historically it helped improve yield significantly on Windows Phone 7.

It even has expiring in-app purchases if you want to let someone try an in-app purchase for "free" and then expire it later.

Wrong. NOBODY should have the power to delete things from my hard drive without my permission.

Then you wouldn't get to use the store. There is no conflict.

Presumably you'd give permission when you downloaded the app.
