The Windows 8 application Development Marathon has launched a development and application campaign in six key cities in China, with live to code as its theme, which has attracted many developers to participate in the event.

At present, Google in the platform's application store has reached a high of 5, 600,000 of the application, such data also caused a great deal of pressure on Windows 8. Microsoft also has a large share of the PC operating system, and for Windows 8 in the Metro interface, Microsoft has changed its profit strategy to provide revenue sharing with developers to entice developers to use Windows 8 apps to fight Apple and Google.

How does an application evaluate its good? Mark Taylor told reporters that Microsoft has a set of evaluation methods, the first is through technical means, the second is to see whether the application has violated policy provisions, the third is quality assessment. Quality evaluation is relatively subjective, but Microsoft will quantify the quality, into measurable content, the first is the logic of design language, the second is the design experience is excellent, the third is the speed of application, four is the application of functional characteristics.
