x/build: Microsoft store release

[tarekwasfy01]

Hi,
I am releasing a Go Package Manager with bundled Go.
I am wondering why there is no Go release in the Microsoft Store.
Because the licence would allow it, I was thinking about publishing Go 1.27.1 as a Microsoft Store App.
Would that be okay?
Are there plans on publishing Go in the Microsoft Store?

Kind regards

Tarek

This would be the style of the launcher I have in mind. The Go installation would stay in the MSIX/WindowsApps folder and the launcher would set the path. With clicking on start the terminal opens.

Okay I have uploaded it to the Store, it might get released in a few hours to days. I will keep you updated.
If you are interested in taking over the project and the Microsoft Store app name (The Go Programming Language), I am open to that.

I think the answer is no, you should not be making an app with an official sounding name.
