Ask HN: How profitable is windows app development?

I am sick of trying to develop for android due to the the unnecessary complexity and verbosity of the Java language. However, how profitable is app development for the windows store?

Not mobile, so I'm not sure if it's the comparison you're looking for, but I sell an app that has a nearly identical version for Windows and Mac. My conversion rate for Mac users is nearly 10x that of Windows users.

Java is not the only language in which you can program for Android.
