We know a lot of you will have thought about Windows 8, maybe downloaded the Consumer Preview from here, and few of you will have taken on the idea of writing an app for Windows 8. We love you all BUT if you are one of the people who want to write an app for Windows 8 we would love to hear from you.
You can email us on ukstu@microsoft.com so we can discuss your idea, help you get started and get you involved in our programme for people who are writing apps before the product is released. If you’d rather just get started then Mike Taulty’s blog article here gives you a simple step by step guide.
No,
several resons.
1. Windows 8 Apps are not Crossplatform
2. Windows 8 Apps run in a Sandbox
3. Windows Metro is boring for a Desktop User.
4. No one in Business will use it. The markt is to small.
