Microsoft is changing the default-way to install Applications.
They switch from Classic-Applications to "Modern-Apps" in UWP-Containers.
Some software is still only downloadable in the MS-Store(for Business).

It would be a great Feature and sales argument to integrate native support for:

->installation of appx-Packages
For example: (Upload appx-Package, give a Name, publish, finish....)
(like MSI-implemention at this time)

->integrate Microsoft App-store for getting Apps and push to end-user devices.
Browse MS-Appstore, or catch the URL from an app to integrate this app in Zenworks for distibution to end-user.

This Feature will simplify and speedup Software-packaging and make patching less time expensive.

• We need it to. We want to have the shortcuts in ZAPP instead of the Windows Startmenu.

• Integration of ZENworks with Windows Store for Business is essential now. I'd be surprised if this wasn't on the ZENworks roadmap.

• This is important if ZCM is to stay relevant for Windows deployment. The way that you have integrated with Apple Store and VPP for iOS apps is a good model for this.
