    since I was searching for <i>technical</i> guidelines rather than
    policy guidelines.  Having now read the last of these, I <i>still</i>
    find nothing technical.  As I wrote earlier, if you can point me at
    the <i>technical</i> elements of the guidelines I will be happy to
    follow them up.  Just in case you are unclear what I mean by
    technical, I am looking for guidelines along the lines of the
    following :<br>
    <ul>
      <li>For a program to be accepted by the Microsoft Store, it must</li>
    </ul>
    <ol>
      <li>Not make any use of CMD.exe, PowerShell, or any other
        command-line user interface that allows a user to run an
        arbitrary program rather than make a selection from a restricted
        list of pre-approved programs.<br>
        <br>
      </li>
      <li><etc>.<br>
