Acknowledgments

My Windows 8 Consumer Preview was a fun, challenging project that we produced in record time, thanks to the crazy and dedicated folks at Que who turned a possibility into a reality! Specifically, I’d like to say thank you to

Loretta Yates, Executive Editor, for her inspiration and her never-say-die commitment to getting this book done, not to mention her quick line-by-line technical and developmental review as the content started streaming in,

Andrew Beaster, Resource Coordinator, for a great effort to ensure a lightning-fast turnaround,

Trina Wurst, Compositor, for pulling out a beautiful (and not easy!) layout at breakneck speed, and

To Microsoft, for taking a chance, mixing it up, and breathing fresh life into our daily work with Windows.
