The document summarizes Alex Thissen's perspective on announcements at Build about Windows 8 and development opportunities. It discusses Achmea's focus on being the most trusted insurer and how IT supports its mission. It outlines the new Metro interface on Windows 8 and opportunities for startups. Visual Studio will better support Metro development and ALM. HTML5 will be well supported but security risks exist. Overall, Microsoft has laid a solid foundation for Windows 8's success but there is much to learn for all parties.

Editor's Notes
- iOS/Android and Windows 7 love child
- Touch first, sensor aware Consistency of UX Web of Apps (OS is meer dan alleen bridge hardware, ook verbinden van apps) Safety by sandboxing, deployment, user content
- Outside office employees End-customers Not so much for productivity user
- Hard boundary between Metro and Desktop Balance in UI Old == legacy?
- Language projections Modernized COM runtime, but does not look like it from languages Async all over the place Goodness not hassle
- Preparations for next move?
- New Windows Metro version? + ARM == Ipad killer Direction for ARM
- http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-08-24/tech/29984452_1_malware-android-market-app-store
- Strict rules Deployment mechanism Advert space for Desktop apps Trust in application quality Hurdle to take
- Silverlight .NET Framework XNA No, main technologies remain Yes, new/other frameworks to learn (as always)
- 3 archetypes Managed dev HTML designer/dev Hardcore C++ Unlike that switches will occur Onboarding of non .NET devs (focus widening from .NET to C++/HTML)
- C++ meets C# (language + tooling) Still a more difficult language Needed for Metro DirectX development Hardly any movers Good to see evolution of language Remains choice for speed, control less so
- Cannot make distinction when browsing to
- HTML 5 .NET 3.5+ MVC Yet, there are possibilities plus options for backend IIS8 (startup, performance)
