In any case, we're not sure why Notch is taking this approach that the Windows Store is a terrible thing. It'll never be as dynamic as the PC snapshots we're getting on a weekly basis from Jeb and Nathan. Countless delays whilst Microsoft certify the game before an update can be released. You can understand why Notch would prefer to avoid distribution systems, just look at the Xbox version of Minecraft. In the past, Notch has also refused the Steam distribution system. It's kind of like Apple's certification of apps that get released for iOS, nothing different. Microsoft's store is a digital platform intended to distribute certified software that meets Microsoft's guidelines. Gamers can play any game they like and install anything they like, they just take the risk that the software hasn't been certified and may come with security flaws and possibly malware. Essentially the Windows Store has nothing to do with programs that users choose to run outside of the Store in a traditional desktop fashion. There's a certain element of confusion about his statement. He's not a big fan of the digital distribution platform and says that he'd rather not have Minecraft run on Windows 8 than to play along with the Microsoft certification program. Notch has been very vocal about the new Windows Store coming with Windows 8.
