Microsoft made a significant change to the way Windows is going to look for the next generation of Microsoft products. The Windows 8, Metro-style, WinRT future is the look and feel Microsoft wants to promote and develop for the next wave of tablets, smartphones, and personal computing devices. Microsoft defines WinRT as "an execution interface as well as a collection API's that give access to the functionality provided by Windows 8", according to Tim Huckaby at DevProConnections.
Given the emphasis on Windows 8 it's often assumed that WinRT will only run on Windows 8 and Server 8. That is not to say that.NET, Silverlight and other associated software development methods are no longer relevant, there is certainly a place in the future of Microsoft development for the longtime standard, others have discussed this matter in detail and Microsoft itself says it will continue to support the.NET technologies for years to come. In the end WinRT is a new core set of API's which replaces Win32 and provides support for Windows 8. Applications written with Win32 in mind may not be entirely supported by WinRT and vice versa. Applications may be made to work interchangeably but not without effort on the part of the developer to make it so. That being said the Windows 8, WinRT, Metro-style vision for Microsoft is happening and it is the direction Microsoft seems to be taking Windows technology.
