5 Kicks

The Windows 8 Developer Ecosystem(www.kodefuguru.com)

Windows 8 brings a style of applications familiar to us using Windows Phone known as Metro. Although Metro Windows Phone apps were built in Silverlight, many predicted the demise of Silverlight since early previews of Windows 8 focused solely on HTML5 support. The keynote of the BUILD conference dispelled this notion by presenting us a full picture of the applications supported in Windows 8.

I'm personally not thrilled (at all) about metro's look and feel. I like the charms, I like the WinRT API, I just hate feeling like I'm using a tablet even though I have a mouse and keyboard. I understand that you can open the desktop like an app, but I just don't see how the tablet UI can be user friendly with a mouse and keyboard.
But, like I said, the improvements under the hood are welcome and long overdue!
