Intel Developer Blog: Softtalkblog recommends tools and resources for porting apps
If you already have an app that you’ve developed for iOS, there are several good reasons to port it to Windows 8.
If your app is paid-for, a presence on more platforms enables you to tap into more markets, and also enables you to block any competitors who might move in on platforms you’ve overlooked.
If your app is free, a presence across multiple platforms means you can build up brand awareness, loyalty and stickiness across more platforms. Apps that use cloud-based data or synchronisation can benefit in particular from cross-platform availability, because they enable users to switch between the devices they own at any time, and continue their work or play seamlessly.
There are lots of ways to distribute Windows 8 apps, including through the Windows Store and through the Intel AppUp Center (http://software.intel.com/en-us/appup).
