I know everyone hates windows here, but people should probably realize that its a legit ecosystem. Everyone says "Oh it only has 4% market share, it has bad adoption". 4% of the PC market is 120m PCs. Think about that for a second: even if you got 1$ from 1% of that market, you'd still have 900~k before taxes in your bank account. Do I think Windows 8 is the best operating system in the world? Of course not, it does has its flaws, but is it the worst? No. Its completely usable, and its a giant step forward compared to where they (Microsoft) were a few years ago. Give it a few years, and I think it will certainly be a viable options, and I think it may even be a pleasure to develop on.

Windows is a very legit ecosystem, but, I think, mostly everyone who participates here is "skating where the puck's going, not where it's been". Also, the author of the post works for Microsoft, so this posting is unfortunately more advertisement than informational. For example, the author states that "Windows 8 is a fantastic operating system ...", "Windows is very developer friendly.", and "... visit a Microsoft Store, check out some new models available there.".
