The next version of the Windows operating system, Windows 8, will be releasing near the end of October.
It represents a more fundamental change in the OS UI than from Vista to Windows 7. In addition to that, there is an even more fundamental change from the traditional .NET application development process that has become familiar to most developers using Windows 7.
Windows 8 application run on the Windows Runtime, or WinRT application architecture, which is essentially a COM API. Developers proficient in .NET, however, can rest assured that their skillset can be applied to developing on Windows 8.
Using this new API, language possibilities are present that did not exist before, or were not easy to implement. In this video, I will show you how to get a Virtual Machine for Windows 8 properly configured using Oracle VirtualBox.
