[citation][nom]tiltowait[/nom]It is no point to brag about the number of apps in Windows Store now. I have a W8 tablet and I have checked the apps in them, even the popular apps now are mostly "website" apps (such as Toms Hardware), or light weight apps that appear everywhere such as EverNote. Not even Angry Birds have been ported to W8 yet. As of now, interesting apps are extremely rare.To be fair, this is to be expected for an app store that has not even go live for more than a month. But the urge to keep claiming the store has lots of apps while in actuality it has only filler apps is counter-productive. Give it 6 months, then look at how many actual "must-have" apps it has.[/citation]
For RT, you are right - but this may be for Windows 8 (Not Windows RT). In which case it does have Angry Birds, Jetpack Joyride (Not big into "microgames", but I've grabbed this at work and home.... One of my favorite time killers xD).
I think that if Microsoft leverages it's ecosystem (X-Box, Phone, PC) and continues to make it easier for developers to cross develop between platforms that there is a lot of promise. Of course, that means that would need to effectively leverage that advantage and possibly offer some sort of incentive for cross-platform development (free dev kits, reduced store price if application is on released on multiple platforms, with Microsoft % reducing per platform. 30% on 1, 20% on 2, and 15% on 3 platforms, maybe?)
