Or is it?
Since Microsoft announced the Windows Store, the official word has been that desktop apps could not be distributed in the store. But this morning I noticed this:
That’s odd, but after clicking on one of these, I see that all it does is link to the website where you download Visual Studio
So really, it’s not a desktop app in the store. It’s more of an ad for a desktop app.
Interestingly enough, despite the menu being ALL CAPS, Visual Studio 2012 is getting a nearly solid 5/5 stars.
