    This document discusses developing applications for Windows 8. It describes how Client Hyper-V allows creating diverse development and testing environments on a single PC by running multiple operating systems virtually. The Windows Store is optimized for discoverability and has a transparent approval process. There are two types of apps for Windows 8 - Metro style apps that use the new Windows Runtime APIs and Desktop apps that run on the classic Windows platforms. Sogeti created a proof of concept task management app called SogeTask to gain initial experience with Windows 8 development. It focuses on location and uses technologies like Bing Maps, the Windows Runtime, and semantic zoom.
