Meh, you know what - this is a bold move of Microsoft, and its quite compelling to see how they have embraced the platform-ology that must be embraced in mobile, these days. I applaud the effort. But the tricky part of all of this is that so much of the mobile space is more common than people think. Glomming one platform on the other is sort of de-rigeur, in mobile - as it has (and still is and always will be) been on desktop, in the server space, and so on. Tricky thing: you can Run X on A if you use Y and A to make/build/run X. Got Y? Microsoft: please port Visual Studio to all platforms, including my iPad, kthxbai..
