Just as Google is known for giving away free devices to I/O attendees, Microsoft also used its Build developer conference today to hand out free hardware to all of its Build attendees. Every Build attendee will get a Microsoft Surface RT 32GB with a touch cover. In addition, attendees will also get 100GB of free SkyDrive storage. Nokia’s Richard Kerris also used his slot during the keynote to give a free Lumia 920 to everybody at Build.
But to make Windows 8 a successful platform, Microsoft clearly needs more apps, and while Ballmer highlighted the current crop of apps for Windows 8, he also noted how Twitter will only release its own app in the coming months, for example. With more tablets in the hands of Windows developers, we will hopefully see more good apps arrive in the Windows Store in the near future.
