nsane.forums Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Windows 8 Complaints, a recent free Windows 8 app made solely to post messages that were critical of Microsoft's latest OS, has now been removed from the Windows Store.A few weeks ago, a new and free Windows 8 app was approved by Microsoft to be published on the Windows Store. The app was titled Windows 8 Complaints and it was designed solely to allow people to write up their issues with Microsoft's latest PC operating system. According to the app's description:Windows 8 Complaints app allows you to post your complaints and read/listen to the complaints of others. Whether you miss the start button or you don't like the color purple that they use, let it be known and listen to the thoughts of others to gain new ideas on why you don't like Windows 8.The app's developer was simply listed on the Windows Store page as "Software Developer". When the app first came to our attention earlier this month, we used the app's email contact info to ask for more information, but did not receive a response. We also contacted Microsoft's PR reps to find out how they felt about having a Windows 8 app published in the store that was designed just for people to criticize Windows 8. At that time, Microsoft's rep told us, "As long as the app follows certification policies, they get admitted to the Store."Well, it seems that something has changed since then, because today we noticed that the Windows 8 Complaints app was no longer available for download from the Windows Store. The app's page has also been taken down, although a cached page is still available for viewing. We have emailed Microsoft to find out when the app was taken down and if Microsoft asked for its removal and, if so, why.

Ganxxta Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 As much as I can't stand Win8... but why does MS bother and get negative publicity by removing this app?I mean its a Win 8 app, so the people who can use it to complain already have Win8 and MS the money....

voidoid Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 They had to pull it because of the huge amount of data that the database was receiving. The data flow to the database was purportedly 10 times greater than the world's spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachnoid Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 If the developer made it a more balanced app with positive as well as negative comment Im sure it would suddenly reappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
