A WINDOWS Store app (FORMER "Metro-style app") is a new TYPE of application that only runs on Windows Tablets. A Windows Store app resembles the apps that are run on smartphones. The user INTERFACE is very different compared to traditional desktop apps user interfaces, and without a TOUCHSCREEN they can sometimes be more difficult to use than a desktop app. The biggest advantage of a Windows Store app is when it's used on a tablet computer or on a laptop computer with touch sensitive screen - then it can use its full potential.
