I don't know what to say to that. If you look at what's going on with the new app model...its pretty aggressive what they are doing. Btw...you know that they are going to let .net/winform/wpf and win32 apps be published to the store and use the new API's right? There is a build session about that as well...they are using a type of container technology to wrap them to make them safer. (ish)

I'm just saying...i think they have heard everybody and have tried to bring all of their dev's along on the new app model.

Win32 apps, WPF and .net, objective-c for chrissake...android APIs...what more do you want?
