Yeah, I meant Windows 8 Metro Apps (not just windows programs) from the Windows App store....those should also be available for the RT App Store. Correct?

My thinking is that a developer will be more willing to develop for RT because they know the app can also be downloaded for Windows 8....which will have a huge user base.
