While the Windows Store features few apps at this stage, with most apps being designed for Apple’s iOS, this could be a pretty big win for the company.

Pandora, another streaming music service, has also been available for Windows users on the Microsoft Store for a while now.As Business Insider points out, this is a big deal for the company. After having announced their newest operating system, Windows 10 S, it came to light that this new OS will only allow installation of apps from the Windows store. The release of the iTunes app comes 10 months after the Spotify app was released on the Microsoft Store, giving the streaming service's 140 million active users an outlet to stream Spotify's content on Windows devices. Still, Microsoft says that 'S Mode' is still a priority, especially for students, and finally being able to offer iTunes should make it an easier sell. The end of the year came and went with no iTunes on the Windows Store, and Windows 10 S gave way to ' S Mode' in Windows 10. It was a big win for Microsoft, which was promoting Windows 10 S - a version of the operating system, aimed at schools, that can only run apps downloaded from the Windows Store. It's a full-fledged version of iTunes, including the ability to sync an iPhone, and the Apple Music streaming service.Īt Microsoft Build 2017, its developer conference held almost exactly a year ago, the software giant announced that iTunes would be coming to the store by the end of the year.
