More app love for Glass than Windows 8

my thougts on this:

- Glass is new and sexy - and it has a lot of limitations that you need to work around.

- Windows 8 (both ARM and x86) has a decent browser you can use to access cloud-based systems, there is not really a need to have a separate app (at least I prefer browseraccess to app)

- Winodws 8 (x86) supports (nearly) every Windows program out there. that is a lot more than any app store offers.

Agreed. The browser is good enough for most of these services on Windows 8. However, the ideal experience would be a touch-optimized "metro" app in additional to the browser. 500 users vs. 60 million! Where are the priorities?

Facebook is the biggest surprise. They seem very friendly with Microsoft.
