Well yes, and bravo to those sentiments, which are insightful and worthy of praise... but then you say a bunch of things like: "If developers like you don’t screw it up, that is." "Your goal is to not do what your careless friends in iOS-land did and create a hopeless ghetto of a marketplace." "You as a developer have a responsibility when it comes to the economics of the Windows Store."

I'm not the only one here who felt your "call to action" felt like a call to collusion or bitterness at not being able to squeeze more money off the Apple app store. If I make apps for the Windows store, I'll charge what I feel like charging, thank you very much, and I'll have no one's moralizing lectures. Thanks. :)

Sorry you felt that way, but that's not what I said :)

You can charge what you want; just don't be surprised by the results if you don't attempt to learn the market and realize your own value.
