Hello, I appreciate your interest in the next iteration of Windows. However Win8 it is still in development and yet to reach beta, we currently do not discuss or support it on this forum as yet. Developers can get more info from the Windows Dev Center here: MSDN for developer information http://dev.windows.com You can also check out the Win8 developer preview available for download at the same page. Read the Windows Developer Preview guide See what’s new in Windows 8. This downloadable guide shows you new features for developers, consumers and businesses.
