I would welcome a new Windows API to replace Win32. Not sure if they would ever expose it or continue with the old legacy crap.

- iNate2000 12y agoI thought that Microsoft intended WinRT to replace Win32...
- shaurz 12y agoI had the impression that you couldn't make desktop apps with WinRT?
- kyberias 12y agoWinRT is not really a replacement for Win32 per se but it's a step towards that direction, right?
- iNate2000 12y agoRight - A conceptual replacement, not a technical one.
- pjmlp 12y agoMore a refreshment from the past. WinRT is COM based, similar in concept to Ext-VOS, the percursor of .NET, before it got folded into .NET. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2012/07/05/more-c-net-generics-history-the-msr-white-paper-from-mid-1999.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dsyme/archive/2012/07/05/more-c-net-...
