carry over from the last published submission untouched, so this page stays the
record of them and a change here means a change made by hand in Partner Center.

The Store ID gives the public addresses. Both 404 until certification
completes and the listing is published, so nothing links to them yet:
0.9.5 completed certification and is published. The Store ID gives the public
addresses:

- `https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NN5N0L2TMTF`
- `ms-windows-store://pdp/?ProductId=9NN5N0L2TMTF` (opens the Store app)

Then, and not before, the Store becomes a second route on
`whiteboard.sqlbi.com`. It stays second: Store availability is uneven on
managed corporate machines, which is why the MSI is the primary channel
(decision 10).
`whiteboard.sqlbi.com` links to the first of those from the alternates under the
download button. It stays an alternate rather than the headline: Store
availability is uneven on managed corporate machines, which is why the MSI is
the primary channel (decision 10). The `ms-windows-store:` form is recorded
here but not linked from the site, because it fails silently in a browser that
has no Store app to hand it to.

Store installs update through the Store and never make the daily version check,
which is what the site and `privacy.html` already say about them.
