That would certainly be an interesting strategy, and a solution.

I wonder what the metrics are like on C# vs Visual C++ proliferation?

I bet that MS is going to open up an 'App Store' in the same vane as Apple's OSX App Store, or the Chrome Web store, to draw attention to apps that can run on the new system.

I also forsee them pushing Silverlight to high levels of performance and using this as a vehicle to push new titles to the platform and to port existing ones.

All speculation.
