Microsoft's Windows Store hopefully reached 190.000 available applications. Of course this does not mean that all apps are legitimate or functional.
For example, a clone application of the known service WhatsApp is available at Windows Store at the price of 3.99 dollars.
At first glance, you might be tempted to buy it, especially if you think it's the famous WhatsApp app released for Windows 8. But if you look better and read the description more carefully and see the screenshots, it seems that the app is not the original one.
The description says:
"WhatsApp Msg is the best application that provides you many heart touching messages. You can share your feelings, emotions using these messages to your partner, friends and family.”
The "smart" developer has his email as a support link (venkatreddy572 [at] outlook.com) and uses screenshots showing the famous WhatsApp logo.
Microsoft, of course, has long promised that such applications will not allow a "career" in the Windows Store, so we expect the application to disappear in the near future.
However, what makes us wonder and is very difficult to understand is why would approve such applications by company; Maybe to fill the shop?
