One of the biggest problems developing for Windows is the way code signing works and Microsoft's SmartScreen. I see tons of web apps where I think they'd make more sense as a desktop app and I prefer both JavaFX and Microsoft's platforms over web development, but the web wins for everything in my mind because it's an open platform that no one can take away from me.
The way AppGet worked where I could click a button on a webpage and launch an app was something that I really liked. Microsoft could make a better version of that by allowing domain validated code signing for sandboxed apps. Of course, they'd need to give up control over curation for it to be any good and I'd be surprised if they'd do that.
