When will Minecraft be available for Windows tablets?

[Windows Central Question]

One son has Minecraft pocket edition on his kindlefire, but now my other son has no way to play it on the Windows 8 tablet he received for Christmas. And Amazon doesn't have an app that enables their apps to function with Windows. Exactly how soon will Minecraft pocket edition be available for Windows? And, is it possible for the pc version to run on the Windows tablet?

The Windows 8 tables has full Windows, doesn't it? It has the same operating system as a desktop/laptop, which means your son should be able to use the PC version of Minecraft.

Maybe he's talking about a RT device

Havent heard much about a PE version for the Windows Store.

Although if its a recent Windows 8 tablet, it'll do full Minecraft nicely, just with a keyboard and mouse.

Could be, but not likely if it's a device he just got for Christmas.

Try blockworld from the app store. Just the same in every way and I personally cant see any difference between the two
