The Software Development Kit is Available without any Fees and What's More, you Can Now Put any Finished Apps Up for Sale on the Windows Store as well. Just like that ! To Help Developers along Even Further, Redmond is Releasing an Adapter that Makes the XBox One Kinect Play Nicely with a Windows 8 PC.

Now, Get Out there and Get Cracking -- the Hardware Giant already has a Head Start on you.
