BaseShield App Store For Windows….Not Mobile?
by Jason Wilk on November 25, 2008

- Fresh out of the Y Combinator college comes an app store for Windows PCs that can distribute any third-party software (think iPhone App Store for the Desktop)
- The project, called BaseShield App Store
, lets users download and launch an app with a single click
- The apps run over a virtual layer on top of the Windows OS which makes the rest of your computer safe from malware, yet lets the apps make use of the full power and 3D graphics of your computer.
- BaseShield does this partly by creating a sandbox for each app, only enabling it access to the files necessary to push it live.
- At the start, the App Store is launching with a few different apps and games. They hope to drive revenue by rev sharing with potential application publishers.
- Let’s hope they have loftier goals as well of getting placed on the WinMo Decks.
