It's a great opportunity for small house and single developers to create killer apps. Unfortunately for MSFT, they build their apps off a commonly used platform....but totally different than Android and iOS...so they can't just "start developing for W8".

Developers pick up new languages and interfaces all the time...you think anyone was developing in Objective C before the iPhone? Not to mention that the languages that MS uses and provides are already well established.

It's also really interesting to see how the UI of these apps will progress....seeing as how most of the developers that know the language are used to developing larger-scale, desktop apps.

You don't have access to the things you do in a desktop app on the phone environment, and what you do have is tailored to the phone, so I don't see how that's an issue. Rounded corners are there if you want them.
