I noticed that to write a Metro-style app in Microsoft's development kit I have to get a developer license. It was free, but when it expired after 1 month, the apps I had written were disabled -- even on my own computer. That seems a little disturbing to me. With this arrangement, Microsoft has the power to disable anything I develop retroactively. Is that true? If so, should I be worried? Is there another development platform for Metro apps that doesn't require a developer license from Microsoft?
