The first keynote at Microsoft Build 2012 talked about Windows 8, Windows 8 devices and Windows Phone 8. I provide a high-level overview of some of what was covered.

Microsoft Windows 8 has officially launched. With 8,000 apps and tremendous hardware support, it is time to see if Microsoft will score a victory. If they do, will you share the ride by building apps, or are you going to sit back and watch?

Windows 8 is released to retail tomorrow. Now is a great time to start building applications if you haven't already. Here are a number of links, resources, and articles to help you build great Windows Store Apps today.

With Windows 8 set to release, many people are looking to buy Microsoft Surface devices. If you plan to buy a Surface this week or next, make sure you know what you are getting. The Surface RT is not a Surface Pro.

There are several ways to make money from a Windows Store App on Windows 8. One way is with Ads.

Microsoft spent years hammering into developers heads that you need to include certain things on your Windows applications and you need to perform certain actions. Now they want you to forget a quite a few of those "Windows standards" and replace them with new ones.
