I have mixed feelings for developing for Windows 8. I got my hands a little on Visual Studio, and it's hands-down the most powerful, stable and complete IDE I ever used.

If Microsoft could have something similar for coding with JavaScript,and HTML; along with tools for storage, database, revision control, testing, jquery... integrated inside that IDE. Well, I just can't miss programming with it.



I was at a .NET user group meeting last week. Scott Hanselman showed off the current development build; guess what, it has the same support for HTML, JS, Jquery, and CSS editing that it has for MS languages.


Mind-blowing :) Anything online showing this?


I guess you can try it yourself (if you have a VM or a partition to spare). Steven Sinofsky says they're going to make Windows 8 Developer Preview ISOs (with and without development tools) available to everyone:
