The need Windows 8.1 Developer's Edition.

I do have a dumb question about Windows 8 though - people are complaining about the multi-window problem. What's to keep a user from going to the desktop and running multi-window apps just as we do now from there? I've only messed around with a preview version of Windows 8 and at the time there was a hack to bring back the start button (a workaround that Microsoft quickly squashed) - but anyway other than the start button - what's the big deal? Like how hard is it to click on "desktop" tile on metro interface? Maybe I don't understand the problem - but to me it seems like no big deal at all.

>Nope. There are things that don't make sense for a metro UI. VS is one of them. Office is another, unless they can come up with a compelling reason to make me change my mind.

>>Isn't that what everyone is supposed to do so all our applications can be in the Windows Store so Microsoft can make $$ off them? Plus of course we can rewrite for RT too to try to save that from hitting the scrap heap before Win 8 desktop..
