Windows Store is the app store for upcoming Windows 8 operating system. It allows users to search and install windows 8 apps from default browser. But it seems that Google is doing something wrong to prevent users from accessing Windows Store on Windows 8 platform.

When you will launch the product page in windows store, it shows app description, screenshot and rating off the app. It also has a button to launch Windows Store and download this app. This page works fine in all browsers but Google Chrome users cannot see this button. Few users have complaint this and then issue was confirmed by many other users.

ZDnet reports that the issue is the result of the technology used to implement that button. It is supported by IE and partially supported by Firefox but does not supported by Chrome. When microsoft server detects that user came from Chrome browser, it does not show button in markup. This is done the same as it do with users coming from OS other than Windows 8.
