The Windows team made a huge investment in HTML & Javascript. You could even say they bet on developers using that over XAML/C#.
Looking at the apps in the Store though, and talking to insiders, and the picture is clear that over 80% of the apps in the Windows 8 Store now are XAML/C#. I've been tracking this for the last few months, and the trend is continuing.
