Windows 8 allows you to build native apps in HTML/JS. You would be very hard pressed to tell any difference at all.

Windows 8 also provides a consistent set of APIs across all languages supported: JScript, C#, C++ and VB.NET. There's nothing you can do in C# that you can't do in JScript on Windows 8, with the possible exception of DirectX.

Are we talking plain vanilla HTML/JS or HTML/JS+Metro extensions? Also, I guess those apps don't have to be cross-browser.
