And Windows 8 app store will launch soon. By the way, I have MBA, iphone, ipad and an acer that dualboot to win7 and linux and a ubuntu desktop server. IPhone and IPad do have strong walled garden and it definitely not for everyone. Thanks to Android Apple does not reject apps without good reason these days.
