I like that they're making it in the US and that they didn't just knee-jerk "OK, who are we having make it?" Actually, I'm kind of liking a variety of things that MS has been doing lately. Heck, if I was going to start on mobile development I might actually start with the (much smaller) Windows ecosystem rather than trying to bubble to the top of the iOS or Android markets - the absolute number of users may be smaller, but if you do a good job the number that actually see and can purchase your app may be a lot higher than you'll see as you compete against 300 similar apps on the larger markets. Further, if MS keeps doing a decent job while Apple and Google work to find ways to irritate users and developers it may end up being an "in on the ground floor" type of option.
