Unfortunately Microsoft is doing these like Apple more and more, so many secrecy and limits, especially for developers, its nonsense. How many WinRT stuff did you see after BUILD ? There are several videos here on C9, sure (and thanks Charles!), but how many blog post elsewhere (like blogs.msdn.com) ? its even a banned topic on MSDN Magazine. WinDiv people can't even mention the OS. Basically the ONLY one from MS talking about Win8 is the B8 blog, WTH ?
