Hi all,

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/05/no-cost-desktop-software-development-is-dead-on-windows-8/

Some hightlights:

"If you want to develop desktop applications—anything that runs at the
command line or on the conventional Windows desktop that remains a
fully supported, integral, essential part of Windows 8—you'll have two
options: stick with the current Visual C++ 2010 Express and Visual C#
2010 Express products, or pay about $400-500 for Visual Studio 11
Professional"

"Visual Studio 11 Express will be able to produce HTML and JavaScript
websites, and nothing more."

"Windows 8: the Windows SDK for windows 8 will not include a compiler
toolchain at all"

The rules of the game are changing.
