Windows Store Will Soon Offer Third-Party Storefront Apps

So I guess the windows Store will take a cut from the other stores cuts ?
The only time this might happen is windows phone/tablets running ARM CPU's
If they get a good abstraction layer happening, lightweight x86 apps should also work

As to the other stores, i reckon MS will put some rules in place for malware/quality/legal checks, but not take a cut from other stores transactions. They're in expansion mode where they want more users, not in greed mode where they want to bleed the existing ones
