Windows 8.1 Preview will see daylight in just a few weeks at the BUILD developer conference, so all tickets for the event were sold out in less than a day.

Fortunately, those who want to watch the Windows 8.1 Preview launch online can do it straight from the Metro UI of their Windows 8 computer, laptop, or tablet, as a freeware app that reached the Store a few days ago comes with dedicated options in this regard.

Intuitively called //BUILD, the app lets you watch and check out details of every speaker, session, and tag, while also providing access to sessions, speakers, and tags for 2012 and 2011.

“This app allows you to view the sessions for Build 2013 when they get available online as this conference takes place. While you wait for this year’s conference, why don't you browse the archive and check out all great sessions 2012 and 2011,” the app description reads.
