Well Windows phones and tablets still have anemic developer support.

Why buy an RT tablet with little to no software when you can get an iPad for the same price and offers a much wider assortment of quality apps and games?

The main selling points for a Windows tablet over an iPad (for me) is Microsoft Office and Xbox games

Anyway, you're right about the lack of apps. If I were M$ I'd do a developerathon (or whatever they called it) like Blackberry did in which they gave any devs who submitted an app over a designated 36 hours period $100 dollers. It worked for BB, because in 36 hours they increased the number of apps in their App Store by 15k

Yeah, they need to do something. WP7 has been out a while now and it is still greatly lacking in that area. Other than that I think the OS is great, but not great enough to the point where I don't care about what games and apps are available to me while using that OS.

They say porting to RT is simple right? Hopefully this year shows some big changes.
