Metro apps. See the new hangouts app? It's not on WP.

Can you release a metro app for sale without Microsoft taking a cut? I.e. does windows 8 allow metro sideloading?

@cma: No. Metro apps cannot be sideloaded if you are not a Dev. Tell me a store which does not take a cut? Steam, iOS, Nook, Amazon, Play store? Besides, Google's apps on iOS are free.

Can Google release a Metro version of Chrome? One that non-developers can use on Windows RT and/or Windows Phone?

They released a iOS version, which has the same restrictions. So yes, they could.
