Yes, Windows of the virtual kind instead of the ones that you wind up and down in your vehicle. From the desktop, the operating system war has moved on to portable devices such as smartphones and tablets, and into the living room with Apple TV, plans of Android TV, as well as other set-top boxes, now we have another dimension to think about – the vehicle.

Microsoft did launch the Windows Phone App Studio in August last year, where it arrived in beta form, and earlier this February, they released an update which enabled users to be able to create a full Microsoft Visual Studio project that will contain not only the Windows Phone app, but also a Windows 8 version of the very same app, too.
