I did eventually purchase a copy of Windows 8. Installed it on my old laptop. Downloaded a digital copy straight from Microsoft. Then I installed Visual Studio and was off to the races to develop some Windows 8 apps.
At first I thought I might try to write the apps with JavaScript. After all, I had recently taken a few classes on JavaScript. However it was not intuitive to me on just how to do that. So instead I fell back on my tried and true C++ programming skills. I decided to write my apps in C++.
In all I wrote ten Windows 8 apps. I think two of them were rejected my Microsoft. I contested some of the other rejections and got those apps published. Most of my apps are casual ones that cost a few bucks. I did write a couple enterprise apps that cost more money. Still trying to find buyers for them though.
