Tomorrow and on Friday I'll be at the Start Something! Tour in Turin, hosted and organized by Microsoft, in collaboration with TTG - Torino Technologies Group community. They will be two open days for people who want to write and test their applications on Windows Phone devices (in collaboration with Nokia) or Series 5/Series 7 Tablets and Notebooks with Windows 8 (in collaboration with Samsung).

Here's a little update about the Blend 5 issue I had on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. See this post for all the details.

Like many software developers, these days I'm very excited and eager to get started using the Consumer Preview on a daily basis, both at work and at home. But Windows 8 is still a preview release, which means that there could be some sort of software incompatibilities. Prior to completely switch my workstation to the next version of Windows, yesterday I started to play with Windows 8 Consumer Preview 32bit on a secondary laptop (a DELL XPS M1330) with just a unique goal: verify which development tools work and which don't.

For a master degree thesis project about NUI (Natural User Interfaces) by Marina Sabetta, student at the Polythecnic of Turin, a home-entertainment embedded system is in development stage: its purpose is to let elder and non-technologic people browse the web, send/receive e-mails, interact through Instant Messengers and use a mobile phone, in a simple and intuitive manner. The prototype is based on Windows 8 Developer Preview and consists mainly of a .NET Metro-style app which acts as Windows system shell.
