The addition of Opera to Microsoft Store means Windows users will be getting the browser directly in their OS, without the need to look for it on the Web.

For Opera, this represents another key relevant distribution channel and a way of reaching Windows users directly.

'We are very thankful to our users for supporting Opera and requesting that our browser become available in the Microsoft Store on Windows. Opening the Microsoft Store to other browsers is a step in the right direction of more user choice," said Damian Trelka, Head of the Opera desktop browser.
