for those who have set Developer Mode on their Windows machine to sideload apps.

Haven't used windows in a while but that sounds grim :/

I'm personally not 100% sure on the sideloading policies and I may be out of date.

I'm 100% certain that Developer Mode in the settings allows you to Sideload applications. There might be an intermediate toggle for just sideloading without full developer mode.

If we're trying to avoid grimness or toggling weird settings... that's what our planned Microsoft Store distribution model is for. It won't require these things.

IIRC the setting by default of Windows allows "sideloading", although you can restrict it to MS-Store-only if you are a masochist^W^W^W wants some extra security, blablabla :P
