Arts Technica has the scoop – we’ve just launched the Microsoft Surface SDK for partners. I know that getting access to the SDK was a commonly asked question amongst our software development community and so it's great to see this finally out there in the wild. Just like any good Microsoft Partner program, there is a pyramid involved that shows the various levels of status a partner can achieve and the various benefits associated with each level.

Whether you are an existing partner or not, to get started head over to the Microsoft Surface Quickstart Program and download the SDK and the simulator!
