I have started writing this article although not added references to the sources. Not much is currently known about the actual mechanics behind the technology.

My sources are the videos from the conference sessions. Robert Sundström (talk) 13:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting sources

Here are some articles on WinRT:

These were the most important talks about WinRT at BUILD:

Confusion with native, relation to the NT architecture

The description of the technology should be reworded to avoid confusion with the Windows Native API. After reading the article I can't really tell on top of what API WinRT is build. It should be also made clear how WinRT relates to the NT Environment subsystems.

Hi, Sundström. the below link states that winrt is a runtime built on top of win32, and it specifically underlines that winrt is not an environment subsystem built directly on top of the windows native api: http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/sasha/archive/2011/09/15/winrt-and-net-in-windows-8.aspx where did you get the information that winrt is built on top of the native api? contrapunctus (talk) 11:01, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then the sources are wrong and I have never stated that is built on Win32 because of that. The representatives at the conference said that it is a new framework that has been built from the ground up and with some stuff that has been reused with regard of COM. This is a reliable source: http://www.winsupersite.com/blog/supersite-blog-39/windows8/winrt-replacing-win32-140605 Robert Sundström (talk) 23:31, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
