I want to develop application for windows 8 tablet. I now have:
And I'd like to know:
There is lot of confusion for winrt vs .net (when we actually start working on VS 2011 on consumer preview)
There is no difference between desktop and tablet Windows 8 machines other than the form factor and available features. Well that and the fact that some of these tablets will be running on ARM hardware (the Windows RT SKU of Windows), so if you use any native code you need to factor in another platform to what you may want to support (x86, x64, ARM).
To start - just create a blank Metro Style App project in Visual Studio 11 and run it with F5. The Metro Style Apps use Windows Runtime (WinRT for short) instead of WinAPI/Win32 that the "desktop apps" use. Desktop apps that use WinAPI can still be used on non-ARM devices, but can't be sold in the Windows Store (though you can sell it yourself on your website and get it featured in the Store).
Here are some learning resources that you can start with. I recommend beginning with the Build conference videos.
You can go ahead with VS2012 with windows 8 RTM .
VS 2012 itself contains Emulator but you cab always chose Local Machine to deploy your app on your own machine to have the look and feel of the app
