<meta http-equiv="x-dns-prefetch-control" content="off"><div id="yiv507666039">Microsoft has been pushing hard to get people to write apps with plenty of free workshops. In fact there is one coming up on Tuesday at their L.A. office (in the Wells Fargo Building; it costs $40/day to park there so they recommend Joe's Auto Parks instead, or you could take public transit) that will be focused on HTML5 apps. I went there for an IT camp a few weeks ago and it was apparent that Microsoft spends a lot more money on devs than on IT people. They were kind enough to let us have the Panera sandwiches and the cookies and pizza that were left over.<div>
<br></div><div>One thing I heard when I was in the room to get some food. There will be no 99 cent apps. Everything will sell for at least $1.49.<br><br><div class="yiv507666039gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 12, 2012 at 10:16 PM, matti <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:mathew_2000@yahoo.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:mathew_2000@yahoo.com">mathew_2000@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This is a really good piece on this<br>
<br>
<br>
The Next Twenty Years<br>
Why the closed distribution model of Windows 8 must be changed for the sake of developers, consumers, and Microsoft itself.<br>
<br>
"For the first time in the history of the PC, Microsoft is rolling out a new Windows ecosystem for which they will be the sole software distributor. If you buy Windows 8, the only place you will be able to download software that integrates with its new user interface will be the official Windows Store. Microsoft will have complete control over what software will be allowed there."<br>
