Windows Surface RT - Good to get into early?

I've been reading lots of reviews about the new Surface RT and most say the tablet hardware is awesome but the software is terrible (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/24/technology/personaltech/microsoft-unveils-the-surface-its-first-tablet-review.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0). Almost all of them mention lack of apps and so I wanted to ask all of you, do you think it will be worth jumping on the windows 8 store publishing to get in the gold rush for when it comes out? Personally it doesn't seem to me that the surface RT is going to be a big hit, but that the surface Pro could be when it comes out. Akin to the early days of the app store it might be very lucrative to put out a game that could only be 0.99 on the Apple's store but be $4.99 on the new windows side. Discussion, go!

    I've got 5 apps in the Windows Store, two free and 3 paid. It can't hurt to be in there :)

    I just dont know if its worth it to me to change my apps to work on the windows store...plus I have no way of testing if it will work on a windows tablet. How did you test your games, or are you just assuming a desktop download?
