Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
It would be useful if the Store App could have been made available on Windows server as well - as it is more difficult to install a new version every month on a server!

RuslanThanks ... just voted and will mark your response as a solution - as if they could allow for it to be installed on the server that would be the real solution (though I am sure there might be technical challenges)
