In May this year, Microsoft stated that it is working with Apple, to bring iTunes to the Windows Store by the end of 2017. However, it doesn’t seem like this is happening after all.

In conversation with ZDNet, an Apple spokesperson stated, “We have been working with Microsoft to deliver the full iTunes experience to our customers and we need a little more time to get it right." At the moment, the company did not disclose what was causing the delay.

In an effort to lure in more users, it is important for Microsoft to get in more apps to its store. The report added that while the addition of iTunes to the Microsoft Store might appear to affect few people in light of iTunes’ long-term availability as a Windows app that runs on many Windows 10 machines, the Windows 10 version won’t run on Windows 10 S devices.

Recently, the Supreme Court asked the Union of India's nodal agency to convene a meeting with all the stakeholders, including Internet companies Microsoft within six weeks to remove objectionable content pertaining to sex determination tests.

Earlier in September, the apex court directed internet majors like Google, Yahoo and Facebook and instant messaging application WhatsApp to furnish details of complaints they have received in India about the uploading of objectionable content on child pornography, rape and gang rape.

In February this year, the apex court ordered all companies to immediately constitute in-house expert bodies to identify and block keywords indicative of sex determination. In April, the apex court observed that it cannot curtail free choice of a researcher as right to know is a fundamental right.
