What do you mean, open it to 3rd parties. Anyone can develop a Metro (I'll call it) app, I've done it. Or do you mean allow side loading?

Yes, sorry I wasn't very clear, I was talking about side-loading. 3rd Party as in not having to have any affiliation with Microsoft to sell you software. When Microsoft controls the only store available, they essentially control products that may compete with their own offerings.

There are consumer advantages to that approach of course, but the disadvantages are obvious.
