Express 2013 for Windows
You can use the tools in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows to create innovative and compelling Windows Phone and Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1. The tools include a full-featured code editor, a powerful debugger, a focused profiler, and rich language support that you can use to build apps that you write in HTML5/JavaScript, C++, C#, or Visual Basic.
[I can't try, it requires Windows 8.1 and I have win7 - but I do not want to develop for windows phone]
if erel will decide not to make b4w then I will have no other option and will learn visual studio 2013

Good luck fillipo and dont forgett to share your experience with us
Correct !
Visual Studio 2013 is what I am using for creating windows phone 8.1 apps. There is a learning curve required, however, once you get your head around the MS way of doing things, its ok. I will say this, be under no illusion, Microsoft are going after the corporate market as that is where the money is. A lot of government agencies in Ireland and the UK are issuing Windows phones to their staff as it complements the existing investment in the Windows Back-office infrastructure they currently have, most common use is secure email. I know this to be true as most of our business lies with such agencies.
To be fair to Erel, it's big ask for him to develop 'B4W', I suspect Erel is doing most if not all of the work on his own.
I don't see why that requires windows phones, a decade ago other phone OSs already had secures mail sync. towards Microsoft Exchange mail servers.
Did you ever thought about the fact that MS released their own Remote Desktop app for Android?
Would they do that if they predicted that every company would use a windows phone instead to connect to a remote desktop environment? I doubt it.

The Windows Phone store is actually populating quiet well, the fact is that some developers (especially main stream developer) are actually converting over some great app for Windows Phone, but the end user world wide is basically not that interested in shitty tiles, and I do not blame them either. I know some Microsoft tech engineers that do remote login and telephone support for customers. Even though they all have Android phones (apart from one who has a Windows Phone and want to change back to iOS), when we are in the pub some evenings they are always complaining that their bosses want them to have Windows phones, saying that in the future they will be supporting them on Windows networks. I also know that a lot on accounting companies give their top staff Windows phones these days, my friends Keith and Paul who both work for different accounting companies have been moaning like mad that they have been given company Windows Phones, both of which then went out and purchased Nexus and and Nexus 6 respectively. I have a Windows Phone here, no thank you, I'll stick to Android or even iOS.
He is correct that world wide it is about the 2.7% mark, but I did say that 10.1% was European share which is about correct.
You can blame them for doing many mistakes while dominating the mobile market. They were there way before the iPhone.
And that is the problem with living in the other side of the world, you lose the hot topics.
a While while ago the Smartphones were Windows phones and at that time wow those cellphones were amazing, i still conserve my Palm treo (as a reliq that i use everytime my wife lose her cellphone), and who can forget the mighty HTC HD2 Leo, the samsung omnia, Sony Ericcson Xperia 1.
MS had his golden age in the mobile market, quite a shame they only have 2.7% of the market now. sigh sigh sigh
Well, keeping with the thread, i have bought more apps for my lumia 720 than for android (mainly because windows store accepts paypal), i understand that there are 1 app in the WPStore for 100 apps in Google Play, but the ones i have bought for my Lumia are quite good and very very stable and that is invaluable, AND that comes because Wphone is a very good OS.

Hello Erel,
Is it something you plan or only thinking about ?
Basically, he does it all by itself and this is at least incredible! I called him "monster", hoping that he will not be offended
The tools of which i do not repeat the name (too late
) is developed by dozens of programmers, I suppose, if not hundreds!
My poor english
... Am I wrong or this does mean you have not to blame them but consider them incapable (is "inept" better? I should study english )
