Software approval on the world's many app stores is becoming a significant issue for developers, but Microsoft's new Windows Marketplace could involve the user in the issues before long.
Apparently, the new digital download platform for WinMo devices will include a kill switch within the applications, which will allow the Big M to remotely remove software from a user's device that it has a problem with.
Speaking at the Microsoft Tech.Ed New Zealand 2009 event, Windows Mobile group senior technical product manager Loke Uei Tan confirmed that should a previously approved application or game be removed from the Windows Marketplace, it'll automatically be deleted from user's devices.
What he didn't discuss is the matter of a refund for any premium software that vanishes from a Marketplace shopper's library.
