If you've already invested in the Windows ecosystem — through Windows Phone, for example — then Windows 8. Windows 8. If you're willing to put up with the awkward transition from the tile interface to the desktop one, then you are opening yourself up to a lot more apps. Microsoft is encouraging developers to create apps that work in full-screen in a similar fashion to how apps work on a Surface or iPad, meaning that tablet-style apps are possible on your desktop.
This has obvious advantages, with casual games becoming a reality just as they are on tablets. Microsoft is working on getting as many developers on board as they can, with some big name apps already appearing on the Store.
Developers are receiving an even bigger incentive from Microsoft's "One Windows" strategy, by which developers can write one universal app for Windows and have it run on Windows Phone, Xbox and Windows 8. This has now morphed into Windows Apps, which are universal apps that will work across all devices in the Windows 10 ecosystem. All of this helps increase the amount of games available massively — especially indie titles made by developers who don't have the resources of a big studio — as Xbox has been brought into the fray.
