Hey Bareslehm and afreen_acer

Nope, it doesn't work that way. The developers had to develop these apps twice. Though much of the code can be shared in a lot of instances, they are essentially different apps. In the same sense that if you have a Ford Focus and a Ford Fusion and get a set of new tires for the Fusion, don't expect them to magically show up on a the Focus.

That said, it would be a great model if this could be perfected, or if WP apps could run in the side bar w/o the developer having to significantly recode. Or if Microsoft would make available a discount mechanism for the developer to enable at their discretion for loyal app purchasers.

The man did not buy cars, and did not buy tires.

The man bought an app on a platform that appeard to be evolving and not being dropped. Probably if he would have known he would not buy them. And probably the developer would not have developed that app also.

That being said, Microsoft should pay for that app porting.

Hope Microsoft will complain in the future also, about Apple's sales compaired to theirs. They did not do that kind of "put people first" as Microsoft did.
