Day 1 at the office with my Windows 8 Developer Tablet
Today was my first day back in the office for my job at Telerik and I decided that I would try an experiment.

Why Microsoft Needs a Metro-Only Edition of Windows 8
The Microsoft developer ecosystem has been alive with buzz about Windows 8 all week at the Build conference. What everyone is talking about is the new Metro user experience and interface and the new WinRT API that supports it. I was one of the lucky ones who got a ticket to Build before it sold out and received the developer prototype hardware tablet running the early preview of Windows 8 (I’ve never had prototype hardware before!)
