eWith Windows 10 S showing the way to the future, I’m wondering if Visual Studio will be coming to the Store. That’s going to be needed, honestly, and I can imagine would be something Windows devs would love. I would. Cleanly install and uninstall VS? Heck yes.
Another question has to do with ARM. One must assume that ARM machines won’t remain “cheap alternatives” as time goes on and we’ll see stronger notebooks and even workstations. Has anything been said about VS getting a native ARM port so that it can run 64-bit?

<blockquote><a href="#117878"><em>In reply to jimchamplin:</em></a></blockquote><p>Well, you mentioned the store but you also mentioned ARM. The primary supposed advantage of using the Desktop Bridge to package a Win32 app for the store is increased visibility. Obviously that's not a problem that MS faces with Visual Studio. Anyone who can't find it now isn't a credible candidate to use it. The fact that MS is offering a free upgrade from Windows S to Pro for one year and $50 thereafter suggests that they don't really think Windows S is the future of Windows in general, but instead a product to compete with Chromebooks.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Microsoft confirmed that Windows S isn't for developers: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/05/18/will-linux-distros-run-on-windows-10-s/</p>
