Unfortunately it's not something we have firm plans for at this point. We're definitely keeping an eye on Windows overall, though, to get a feel for when the right time to dig in would be.

however, windows phones do support apps built on html5 and javascript framework. I would recommend trying your hands at some of these courses and there are some good books that cover building apps with these languages available both online and amazon. Let me know if you need any references.
