I'm Down (Score 0)

I am super excited for creating Windows 8 applications, but I am okay with taking a back seat for a while. I think that this is the right choice to avoid the flood of utter junk that plagues most app stores. On most platforms it is increasingly difficult to find a task specific app let alone find a new fun game to play because everyone and their neighbor wants to make the new Angry Birds. The only way the Windows 8 App Store will be successful (at least on mobile devices) is if it looks better than the Apple flavor on day 1. The majority of consumers have no patience or understanding of what it means for software to be new. Sure, I bet they're missing out on a few killer apps because some of the "right" people didn't get early enough SDK access, but I imagine that is a risk they're willing to take.
