Hi
URGE would never show up on my list of online stores, even though I'm in the
US and my Windows Location is set to the US (in the regional and language
options).

I'm am british however, and have the current format settings set to English
(United Kingdom). I set it to English (United States) and restarted WMP11
and sure enough, it immediately showed URGE.

That's a silly bug - right? It should be looking at the region, rather than
the formats, right? Does any one know where i can submit that?

Thanks

This is by design - there's a lots of factors that come into play here, and
the ones that are taken into account are very explicitly taken into account.

It's not really technical....

Music is generally licensed for one area, and the store UIs are locked down
to their locales since they're 99.9% remotely generated blah blah blah.
zzzz.

This is management/marketing-style decisions. Dev can feed them the
options, and they can implement as appropriate. *shrug* So ... not really
interesting information, I'd imagine. =)
