Interesting that your third link says they now have partial support for SEH (__try). That was a very big missing Windowsism for a long time. I guess they never did C++/CX either, but that was a bit of a misadventure on MS's part and I don't see anybody pushing it anymore. (Maybe I just haven't been paying attention to those circles lately.) It's funny how many of the ambitious WinRT era initiatives accomplish buy-in at a rate outpaced by the diminishing relevance of the platform.
