Quick start on a Windows 8 tablet

I want to develop an application for a Windows 8 tablet. Now I have:

  • Windows 8 Preview Machine
  • VS studio 2011

And I would like to know:

  • Where to begin?
  • Will applications designed for the Windows 8 desktop be used, as in Windows 8 tables?
  • Where can I find something like emulater to check them out?
  • Can I get a sample welcome message for a Windows 8 tablet app. I did this for a Windows 8 desktop, but will it work as a tab?
  • What is the difference in the development environment? I need to use WInRT, where does this WINRT appear in the picture?
  • When I select a new metrostyle application, will it automatically switch to winrt instead of .net?

There is a lot of confusion for winrt vs .net (when we actually start working on VS 2011 with a user preview)

There is no difference between Windows 8 machines and Windows 8 tablets, except for the form factor and available features. It’s good that the fact that some of these tablets will work on the ARM hardware level (Windows RT SKU for Windows), so if you use any native code, you need to include another platform in what you may want to support (x86, x64, ARM).
