This answer blew my mind more than any other in this thread.

A bit of a joker!

As someone who is clearly knowledgeable on the subject, what are your thoughts on Windows 8 and its changes? Namely the controversial ones; Metro, no Start button, the marketplace, etc.

Will any of them affect sales in a negative way amongst the IT orientated audiences? Should it?

I've wanted to write a novel for ages but every time I sit down to do it I think about how I'll have no idea what do with it once I've written it and the drive to do so does up. Can you explain the process of how a book publisher might get contacted by prospective authors, out how they find them?

Thanks!
