HERE maps dropped from Windows Store, link here, is everything you need to know about Microsoft these days. In other words, anytime, any service may stop from working. This is simply unacceptable and sends a defiance signal across any Windows developer and Windows user out there.

Statistically speaking, you will get screwed by Microsoft over time. Wisen up !
