Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 6	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?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 68, Visits: 565	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
