In one of the recent interviews, the Chairman of
Microsoft India said “One of the key
strengths of Windows 8 is that the users will have access to all kinds of
applications from the application store. India, as you know, is home to 1.6
million developers, second only to the US.”
Application
developers in India have a great opportunity here to seize the opportunity
presented by the newly launched Windows 8. But what is so special about Windows
8? For Windows
App Development India, Windows
8 is a fundamental shift in Microsoft Operating Systems and will influence all
future Windows development platforms.
It
is a big leap in terms of what it can do to the operating system's graphical
user interface and platform, and with a clear focus on enhancing the touch screen
capabilities. The other two significant points to note are that Windows
8 is perhaps the true cloud-based OS that allows access to all kinds of
services from the cloud. Furthermore, the App Store is one of the key strengths
of Windows 8 with the users able to obtain all kinds of applications from the
application store.
