Dead right! Your salon app is a perfect example. But as progress produces more smaller and useful devices of various kinds we developers suffer with more code and app versions. I can live with that. In future, whenever anyone asks me about writing an app for any serious purpose, I'll ask them "... and what functionality of this new app would you like on a mobile device?". Gotta think about this right from the start from now on. Greg P.S. Although Metro apps still sit in some weird middle ground that worries me. I'm still disturbed on Win8 when I'm pushing big clunky touchy things around on my 2560x1440 monitor. I still haven't found a Metro app that impresses me yet, or one that comes anywhere near the functionality of my WinForms/WPF apps.
