    Push notifications live tiles after upgrade to wp7.8

    Thanks for starting this thread as I'm trying to find more information on this subject myself (both off the web and from Microsoft) on how it might be fixed for those affected. Four of my users (of my app) have noticed this issue too. It's not consistent across 7.8 users as I've got a lot of...

    XAML best-practice

    I write a lot of ASP.Net / HTML5 / etc. and (like you) find myself largely ignoring the designer. In terms of XAML, however, I find myself using the designer a lot more - not the visual studio one (which I sometimes find painful for XAML); but Expression Blend. Blend will make your life a lot...

    Laptop search

    Touch screen makes a great difference for: Using the laptop in bed / on the sofa (much quicker tapping a web link than using the trackpad) Playing games (drag and drop etc. so much nicer on touch - and many of the new games are designed around it). Using a stylus if your laptop supports that -...

    Dev Center Payments

    It's usually a month before I get payments (for purchases from the previous month) - however some are slower (e.g. where they have to go via credit card companies in other countries) which can take up to 3 months (although those are in the minority).

    Getting started

    I’d recommend just trying to write a really simple app first – just something that has a bit of text, maybe some pictures, on screen and lets you tap some things. If you haven’t chosen between using Visual Basic or C# as the language to learn yet I would choose C# as it’s more popular, and also...

    Where to talk about my app?

    Why not send an update to one version with a message in it explaining the need to move to the other (if they want updates), and make it easy for them by having a button which launches marketplace at the other version. As it's a free app it's pretty painless for people to reinstall (and then...

    Hi, Thanks a lot for the reply, and for offering to check out my app! My app actually has 8 different themes in it :) So if you want it to look more minimalist & metro then that's no problem! I found that some of my users like things more glossy, and a lot like it more metro, so I've given...

You can the three Logitech offerings here: Logitech launches Windows 8-ready touchpad and mice I've got a fantastic mouse already though - but not multitouch - how do you find using the magic trackpad makes a...

    Windows 8 with mouse - is that difficult

    Well done on making the video :) Really good. I'm loving Windows 8 too. You might want to re-post it on XDA's Windows 8 forum: Windows 8 General - xda-developers
