Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RunTime says that WinRT is a COM<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_Object_Model>-based API and uses a .NET-like metadata format. So it is not native code after all then. I don't know why they advertised it as native. I guess it is faster than .NET code because it is not managed. I thought that .NET allows non-managed code, too. Anyway, I believe Windows Phone will attract both developers and users in future. It is a rather good environment for programming. Things are not completely hopeless for Nokia and other Windows Phone makers (maybe). Juha
