Talk:Windows Runtime

article creation 2011
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)

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)


 * 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)

Neutrality
This article has a lot of unfortunate phrases which don't appear to be neutral.

Buzzwords such as "ecosystem" and subjective statements such as the Javascript engine "does tricks".

How should this be fixed? Daemonfc (talk) 02:56, 24 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I am removing the neutrality tag, as it was added by an anonymous editor and there has been no discussion since then. Perhaps the phrasing could be corrected, but I don't believe this to be a correct usage of the tag. Msaunier (talk) 20:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Not to be confused with ...
Not to be confused with 'Windows Runtime', which shipped with products like Aldus PageMaker in the late 1980's — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.206.162.148 (talk) 01:03, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Needs Work
This article needs some fair use screenshots to clearly illustrate the nature of the WinRT user experience. People want to know this kind of information and we should document it both textually and visually.--Dragon695 (talk) 18:03, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Win32 and C
The Technology section says that the Windows API is currently written in C and cites an article stating that traditional Windows desktop applications use C. In other words, the cited authority does not say that Windows is currently written using C. Sam Tomato (talk) 18:14, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

One problem is that the term Windows API is very vague in that context. Sam Tomato (talk) 18:18, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * The Win32 API is exported as C functions and structures but that doesn't mean it's implemented in the C programming language. Jaiganesh.kumaran (talk) 05:12, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
