Same I left MSFT in March to do my own thing! Not just this Windows App tho, it was just a side project while I failed at a startup earlier this year.

I was just thinking that with the state of the how APIs were last year this would have been very tough to do, so I was wondering if you went the JS route since it was in better shape than XAML.

Nice, I used to work for MS too :).

I actually went the JS route because of my skillset. I was was web-dev before I joined MS and never got into XAML much.

The JS platform was pretty stable from the initial public release, I guess that's because it is built on top of IE which has been around much before Win8 came along.
