Sad news from Intel
-
I was somewhat saddened by an email from Intel to inform us that they are closing the AppUp store! One cannot help but wonder whether they did an adequate job of marketing the store. :((
CodeProject did a campaign on this a little over a year ago. It saddens me that there are regulars who are unaware of the AppUp store even after CPs involvement.

Never heard of it. Also, why did it even exist? Did the world really need yet an other "App Store"? BTW, can we please nuke that word. From orbit.

"AppUp" was the formal name of the store, as given to it by Intel. It is perfectly correct to refer to it as the Intel AppUp store.

It was. Now it's "Intel AppOff"

I have to confess, I've never heard of it.
I dimly remember some news from a few years back, to the effect that Intel wanted to create a general-purpose app store thing. If I remember correctly the idea was to bring the app store concept to platforms other than smartphones, including of course the PC. But as the captain of the Hindenburg might have said, things didn't quite pan out the way they wanted.

Also first time I am hearing of it.

I have definitely heard of the AppUp store, likely from this site in fact. However, I'm not really clear what the store actually does. I mean, Intel is not really a "platform". I might optimize a server application for an Intel processor, but I'm not really going to develop for an Intel App Store. I mean, what about those servers running AMD procs or those that are simply virtualized processing units? What about all of those smart phones running ARM procs? I'm not sure if this problem was a marketing issue or just a really bad idea.
