Microsoft could offer one of the first third-party app stores on iPhones - 9to5Mac (9to5mac.com)

I don’t think most end users are smart enough to figure out how to download alternative app stores so I don’t think that companies are going to lock themselves in to only offering their apps on a single storefront.

I am hoping this results in storefronts that offer exclusively open source and other projects that might not jive with Apple policies such as emulators or Hypervisors.

That being said I’m not downloading anything from the MS store app

Facebook will just disable the app with some warning and redirect people visiting from Safari.
