Waiter, more than $ 25,000 as app developer in the Windows Store, you can keep 80 percent of revenues, compared to the usual 70 It is also possible to collect the money, promises Microsoft, which is now struggling to get more Windows 8 applications modemakers in the store.

The new user interface in Windows 8 is in fact based on the use of Windows 8 applications (those formerly called Metro applications, ed.), And in two scaled sister versions of Windows, namely Windows RT and Windows Phone 8, one can only run applications from the Windows Store.
The problem for Microsoft is just that users now will face a sad selection of apps in the Windows Store, compared to Apple's App Store and Android Market. And besides a huge effort to stimulate modemakers a Windows 8 development environment the world over the past year, Microsoft has therefore chosen to provide better conditions for developers.
"We will return as many rate as possible to the developers, instead of Microsoft gets the money. So on all earnings above $ 25,000 get the developer 80 percent instead of 70 percent, "explained Swedish Jonas Persson, Microsoft's global head of effort to get lured more developers to the platform, the Nordic Windows 8 launch in Stockholm.
Since Google has followed Apple's original 70-30 distribution, the 80 percent thus be a larger share than the competition. If you are used to selling standard Windows software, the concept of an app store and the kind of profit-sharing for some may be an unpleasant modemakers change.
"We will also give developers more flexibility. You can choose how you will collect the payment. If you would like to know your customers, you can make your own payment solution, "said Jonas Persson.
But even according to Microsoft has been considerable interest from developers around the globe for Windows 8 applications modemakers - which for example have been 70,000 developers modemakers through one of Microsoft's many Windows 8 workshops around the world - is still missing a whole lot of applications in the Windows Store, thought one of the journalists at the press conference.
"We are at the beginning of this. We have turned our own internal goals, and I am quite confident that there will be obtained many applications, "said modemakers the Danish Windows boss Martin Thorning Hansen.
Only these days, many apps going through the approval process, he explained. modemakers Among the Danish companies that have a Windows 8 app ready now include BT, TV2, Labour Land Bank and Arla Karoline's Kitchen.
"Our Windows Store has more apps than any other app store had at launch," pointed out Steven Sinofsky, without telling that Microsoft also spent far more resources than our competitors to get external developers and companies to submit to the platform modemakers before official launch.
Because Windows 8 is a completely new platform Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 can share code, the apps that are now made for Windows Phone 7 is not immediately moved to the new Windows Store. However, it is not necessary to write an app completely from scratch if you want to upgrade a Windows Phone 7 app for the new platform. Send Tweet

Oh no, you would be allowed to retain as much as 80% of one's own product revenue? You could also write to Microsoft, though less so than Apple and Google, rips developers of apps for their hungry large, 20% of earnings. modemakers

And yes, of course there must be some programs (about 7,000 now) in the Windows Store at launch, modemakers as Apple and Google of course modemakers already sits firmly in the market with under a large Closed Application catalogs if Windows 8 on tavledatamater to have a chance. So it makes no sense - in my view - that the process of their catalog is so much more complicated than iOS's and Android.
I can see the point of that would be where the customers are (or where there is not much competition) but beyond that I can in no way see why it is attractive as a developer to create applications for some of these closed systems. When I see a sentence like:
"We will also give developers more flexibility. You can choose how you will collect modemakers the payment. If you would like to know your customers, you can make your own payment solution, "said Jonas Persson.
Just got my surface today. Is fucking a delicious piece of machine and touch pad works better than I thought (especially after some flabby reviews on various modemakers websites). It even works pretty good to say it.
