Windows Store updating Win32 Apps

[Abhinav Singh7]

This is a 3 part question based on the following image

1. Since when is the Visual C++ Runtime updated from Store(Beta)?
2. What is PlayReady Blue? I cant find it in the all apps list.
3. What is Network Beta?

Did I miss some article explaining all this??

Microsoft will start updating things through the store. Eventually other software will also be updated through the store is my guess. The goal is to get everything into the store is my final guess.

Playready is a content protection program.

Network beta is a piece of beta software that will probably switch out any old way of setting up networks/connections and stuff like that. It's the modern take on network settings in control panel.
