January 2, 2013For development on Windows 8 platform the best Microsoft Solution combination will be Visual Studio 2012, SDK for Windows 8 (free) and Visual Studio Express 2012 (free). If you are a student, then you can get the Visual Studio 2012 also under the student program, free of cost or at a nominal fee.
Visual Studio 2012 : http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-overview
SDK for Windows 8 : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363.aspx
Visual Studio Express 2012 : http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products
Microsoft runs a project known as DreamSpark. This is for students to use Microsoft products free of cost. The website is https://www.dreamspark.com/
