Re: It is by design and it is not possible to remove the app history.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------And the opposite of Android, and at first, everyone using Android's Market/Play Store (heh) complained that there was no history (in the event they had to restore their phone to factory condition, or swapped devices, etc). But the (Android) solution is to use AppBrain — a site/app that allows the android user to have a full history of installs, uninstalls, per device! On the other hand, I am LESS likely to try new apps when my entire WinStore history will be littered with every crapp I've ever tried (like Oprah's OWN Network, which turned out to be an app one should burn with fire till it dies). It makes my store history USELESS. There are cases when an app is terrible at launch (ie, Word for DOS), and becomes much better, but because it's in your history of **** I hated and isn't installed, you might ignore the newer versions. The ONLY solution I've found is app reviews, using 2 or 3 stars for apps with potential, and 1 star for NEVER-AGAIN apps (crapware that was riddled with ads, poorly conceived, etc). But it's sort of a pain to have to review every app review to weed out the 1-stars. There's GOT to be a way to let us nuke the ad-riddled, ridiculous apps out of the history forever, because I'm NEVER going to revisit those. PLEASE, if MS needs to keep an entire history like AppBrain for Android, that's fine; but at least allow the users the OPTION to nuke crapps from our VIEWABLE history.
