Re: xap apps are not downloaded from windowsphone.com

The site "windowsphone.com" is being merged into microsoft.com for a unified store. The store parts have already been merged, and any downloads now take place on the new site instead of windowsphone.com.

The ability for direct downloading of xap files has been removed, and we are unsure if it will be making a return at this point.
