I have no plan to get an Windows RT tablet any time soon since
I just bought an iPad Mini (iOS 6) and an Acer IconiaTab 210
(Android 4.1) and I have an existing iPad 2.

Windows RT desktop mode does not support 3rd party ARM
binary so that libusbx ARM binary created by VS2012 (even
if this is possible) will not work.

On the other hand, Microsoft has this example showing how
to create device apps (Windows store apps) which should
work under Windows RT.

One of the examples talk about access custom driver.
