Installation was quite slow here on 7 (dual 1.5ghz 2GB laptop-around 2007, integrated rubbish graphics) but it worked ok. Developers will follow when the number of those users that complain grow to a point where it makes sense to provide a native app. Trust me, users are quick to complain when apps aren't available natively on their preferred platform. Once Windows has more users, it will make sense for us to provide native apps since people will be less likely to "make do" with non-native apps. (We don't have the resources of companies like Facebook or Instagram, etc) It is however nice to know that the smaller number of Windows users will be able to use our apps even if it's a little less seamless (Meaning you have to install BlueStacks and manage the app from within it) and the performance is degraded.
It's not in my companies best interest to write apps for Windows RT/Phone8 right now since the number of users are so low compared to Android and iOS.
How am I contradicting myself? Once Windows becomes more popular it makes more sense for a developer to spend the time and money to port/re-write for Windows in order to increase the user experience for their apps.
