I think the best thing that Microsoft could do for developers right now is to backport a reasonable subset of WinRT to Windows 7 and provide it as a redistributable, even if we have to pay for it. I'd suggest backporting the XAML-based UII toolkit and at least some of the other APIs, but not the app container or store-based distribution.
