Some new features in Windows 8 Developer Preview

Hi Community,

I’m very excited about learning WinRT, in the same way I was some years ago while learning Win32 Smile

The upcoming releases of Windows & Visual C++ come with a bunch of cool technologies and new features.

Some of these new features are available in  Windows 8 Developer Preview (as shown in  the images below).

Stay tuned!,

Best Regards,

Angel
