I just can not see how the windows app store is a good thing.
Firstly, it adds a 30% surcharge to every application.
Secondly, it is a walled garden, and everything is fine until microsoft decides they don't want your app there, or it conflicts with a product they want to sell.
I fully support the developer right to monetize his application but, I think once there is a large ecosystem of profitable applications on their store, I look for Microsoft to update their TOS, to require exclusive distribution rights on application. By then, it's lose your largest revenue stream, or lose your donation based customers.
I think most developers will stick with the store, and that's a shame.
