There's not a chance in heck HTML5/JS APPs could be as fancy and powerful as the native ones or MSFT would give .Net/SL up, but they have to pretend it's the case in order to lure those H5/JS fools on board of Win8 so they tuned the .Net/SL pitch down for now.
I think it's a bad strategy b/c let's face it Javascript is by the fools and for the fools. It's a horrible choice for medium to large scale software development. You code anything more than 5,000 lines in it the wheels start to come off. I don't think they can lure enough JS fools to Windows to compensate for the .Net developers they are pissing off now.
