Do they have an app store like Google Play and iTunes? I think of Microsoft Store as an online and bricks-and-mortar store that sells stuff like computers, I'm sure they sell software like Office 365 as well. I am typing on a Dell laptop I bought at the Microsoft Store in Oakbrook Mall, pretty much a clone of an Apple Store. If you mean where do Windows Updates come from, sometimes download.windowsupdate.com, sometimes not. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Mike Hammett Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2016 10:06 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Microsoft Store DNS I worded that poorly.
