I was doing a bit of browsing, trying to find the alleged "fake" complaint. All I found was a bad review, regarding repeated crashes. Arrgh!!
I see there's a link to the website, halfway down the page.
I wonder if we should have someone posting periodic reviews, saying how easy it is to get support? Maybe someone focused on writing such a review would be likely to read such a review, and go for help?
All best, brynn

We could edit the window download page that points to the Microsoft link, making it clear who is the contact for the package and that it's as official as any other download for inkscape.

You will need to contact Marc Jeanmougin, who set it up in the store. I believe we already talked about the icon on the mailing list, and I think it has been added by the Microsoft employees...
Ah, here it is: Quote from the relevant list email by Marc:
"I don't think there is much I can do about it, it's likely the icon pulled from the package, but probably transformed with a very poor transparency support (converted at some point to a 1-bit alpha channel, I guess), so the filter in the inkscape icon looks ugly.
I'm CCing David, maybe they can fix it on their side :p "

I don't know anything about someone thinking Inkscape is fake. Is that like "fake news"?
However this post did cause me to look up Inkscape in the Windows Store. The icon certainly does look awful there!

Hi Inkscape-devel subscriber and developers,
So, just as the title said. I am making a Krita series of file with the icon suitable for the Windows Store. Why am I speaking of this?
As attached is the progress so far.
Because, it has come to my attention that someone thinks Inkscape in the Windows Store is fake, and the icon alone, and the screenshots are very telling signs that it is fake. So, now, I have decided to make a Krita file to share for the icon. Also, the guy who shared the lie that Inkscape is fake on Windows store also thinks Krita is fake within Windows Store.
If you are that person that I want, if you would like me to proceed with the creation of the icon, I would be happy to offer the icon. Right now, this is all I'm going to do at the moment.
In any case, legitimacy is something to acknowledge as part of the project.
Also, .zip is rejected? Is there a list of rejected extensions so that I wouldn't get Undeliverable message?
Thanks for reading,
Miguel Lopez
