Microsoft says you don't need apps. That can be translated to mean it's a walled-garden. A closed platform. Much more closed than iPHone, as Microsoft hampers 3rd party developers by denying apps access to faster native code.
What are apps but garbage anyway? Most apps I have seen for iOS and Android are just that. The essential apps have been built into the OS, such as Facebook and Office. It's one reason I love my ZuneHD so much - it's not filled to Hell and back with crapware. It is also not as closed as you think it is.
