Hello,
For some maybe a stupid question but as I am not an IT guru...
Will the SkyDemon work fine with the upcoming Windows 8?
Just asking because seeing all the announced Win 8 transformers (like the ASUS Transformer Book), one has to think that the perfect solution is maybe on its way...
Thank you for your opinion.
Milan

Can I ask why there is no planned development for Win8RT? I thought that Microsoft were pushing that Win8 was a true cross platform OS with a core kernel allowing developers to easily post from Win8 to Win8RT and Windows Phone 8? Surely with 4.5 Inch + WP8 devices and the MS Surface along with a number of GPS enabled OEM Win8RT devices before Christmas not developing for this market if it is an easy port makes no sense. I appreciate the previous Android view around fragmentation of devices and screen sized but with MS having strict device control around resoultion and hardware (drivers etc) and that you already have a Win8 product, it seems little work for market gain?

I think the savvy developer would wait and see if the inevitable happens (Win8RT dying a quick and undignified death) before wasting any time on a port...
