Thanks.

so have to upgrade my windows 7 on 26 October once the Windows 8 releases.

Are there any windows developer fees as well just like Apple?

Yes windows has 2 developer options. $49/ year for Individual and $99 per year for a Company. The main difference in the two is the company can also list standalone desktop apps not available through the windows 8 Store in the windows 8 store.

Basically if we choose individual license we can only sell on appstore and no where else?

Ok I have windows 7 ultimate x 64 bit. If I upgrade it will be mainly for using the app centre to sell my games.

1) So I bought ultimate for 200$ one year back and if I upgrade I only get windows 8 pro for additional 40$.

2) there is no guarantee that all my hardware ( which is a workstation) will work with windows 8 properly.

3) No Start menu

4) To sell apps on windows store a developer license of 50$.

5) and to publish on windows 8 from GS, I also need a PRO version? That's another $250 per year?

6) Windows whenever released are always buggy and need constant upgrades.

I think I will stick to apple for now and if my games make money then progress to upgrade to windows 8.

The first goal is to get GS pro version for now.

Thanks for the help.
