[中川祥]

I do not know much about the store apps development.
What is Windows.winmd? Do I need disassemble it and create wine version ?If
I need C++,I wouldn't do.
Is there any planning to support them?

I don't know about the legal status of the Windows store. Is it possible from a legal and technical point of view to take an application from the Windows store and run it on a computer that doesn't have the Windows store installed? I'd expect copy protection schemes to prevent you from that, backed up by legal terms that prevent you from taking an app out of the Windows store and run it in a different environment.
