UT CEO David Helgason announced that both Windows operating systems will be supported, "The Unity community has been asking for access to Windows Phones and have been eagerly anticipating the release of Windows 8. We're happy to announce that we will support both."The full keynote from the event can be viewed at YouTube:
Unity claims that it's currently "working hard" with Microsoft to bring deployment options for both Windows platforms to developers "as soon as possible", claiming the two operating systems are "among the most eagerly awaited platform additions within the Unity development community".
