Windows Store now open to all developers in 120 markets

Great news for developers! Now you can get your own Windows developer account. The store is officially open in 120 markets (including Belgium)

All eligible MSDN subscribers receive a free, one-year Windows Store developer account as part of their MSDN benefits. (Eligible subscriptions include Visual Studio Professional, Test Professional, Premium, Ultimate, and BizSpark.)

We have a program for students—DreamSpark—that similarly waives the subscription fee. And we have an offer for businesses in our BizSpark program, as well.

If you are not part of any of these programs, you can register for a Windows Store developer account and submit apps if you live or operate a business in a country or region listed here. In Belgium, the annual registration fee is 37 EUR for individuals and 75 EUR for companies.

Keep the apps coming!
