[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 896698, member: 83059"] It’s a super broad category the way it is defined. Seems like it would include Chrome including Flash (in the past) or Visual Studio including Python. Software that offers to install other software would mean the Microsoft Store is a PUA. Of course if we assume Microsoft’s good intentions we understand what these rules are intended to capture but it is really important for the sake of fairness and transparency to not be in this world where large categories of software are against their PUA policy and it’s up to their opaque judgement which to write signatures against.
