Windows 8 apps would run on Windows 8 platform, no matter the hardware it a Desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet or phone. Apps developed on Windows 8 would be able to run on a range of devices running Windows 8 operating system.
In previous post, I talked about downloading Windows 8 Preview Release, and install the OS into hardware either as a host OS or as a virtual machine running on a host.
After installing Windows 8, developers would need to download and install other tools.
The IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for Windows 8 app development is the Visual Studio Express 2012
Other tools such as Blend for Visual Studio, Windows 8 SDK, project templates, Design assets, Windows 8 Advertisement SDK, Window 8 Live SDK, and Metro Style app samples are also available for download.
Please go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516.aspx to download these tools.
In case you would be developing apps for users of languages other than English,
you can download the multilingual app toolkit for Visual Studio, and use it to localize the apps.
Enjoy developing apps for Windows 8.
