Creating a developer account
To write and test Windows 8 applications, you need a developer license from Microsoft. The license is
free and entitles you to be a registered Microsoft developer. Getting such a license requires only that
you sign in using your Windows Live ID, as shown in Figure 1-7. (If you don't have a Windows Live ID,
the dialog box that prompts you to enter it provides a quick “Sign Up” link.)
