    I can't wait! Windows 8 will be awesome and you can bet that I will be writing some apps for it. The first will be a medication reminder app. :)

    Will there be a download for all people? Also without Technet or MSDN-Access?

    We won't know for sure until next week probably (meaning I don't think anybody other than Microsoft knows yet). It is possible based on what they posted on Twitter, but I could be reading too much into the statement too. Who knows. lol. :)

    @Canouna: Is it right, that in actual windows 8 builds (809X-81XX) are no media center, no games and no .NET Framework 3.5?

    The applications choose their Tile colours themselves, and you will be able to set a background colour - and an accent colour. But probably not an image background. But you can set your desktop, and your lock-screen images however.
