    Despite mass adoption rate of Windows 10, developers still tepid on creating apps...

    Point taken. but I believe you missed the keyword I stated above and that is native. html5, js, obecjtive c, java are not native to the windows platform. none of these are compiled down to run on windows. they are run on top of emulators and some runtime environments. The point being a html5 js...

    Despite mass adoption rate of Windows 10, developers still tepid on creating apps...

    Microsoft biggest problem for windows 10 and apps is the lack of .net developers in the start-up world. face it. 90% of all modern apps that people talk about or use, are made in other languages. Start-ups are looking for people that code in the Objective-c, Java ( Android-ish) and web platforms...

    So as off now. I have installed a couple of games, and some apps.. Basically it boils down to this. If the app requires google play services, The app will load but will fail to start displaying an error messages saying you need google play features. So apps like snapchat, hangout, gmail, gmaps...

    yep. they run. so far what I see is that when you run apps that require play store, it just redirects you to the windows store. also app install is very very slow... my guess is that the adp install is trying to recompile the app locally first and editing xml files before it uploads to the device.
