WinRT replaces Win32API

Win8 : WinRT replaces Win32API

"Developing for Windows 7: Classic platforms:
· HTML/JavaScript on Internet Explorer
· C/C++ on Win32
· C#/VB on .NET and Silverlight
Developing for Windows 8: Metro Style
Windows Kernel is still at the bottom of the stack
WinRT is the new OS-level API layer. This is the new native API for Windows, it isn’t a new layer on top of Win32.
You can access WInRT from C/C++, C#/VB, or JavaScript. XAML is the UI layer for C, C++, C#, and Visual Basic. HTML/CSS will continue to be used as the UI layer for JavaScript." from www.infoq.com/news/2011/09/WinRT
