I can't really speak for the Windows team, but it will be very unlikely that any WinRT pieces will be back ported to earlier versions of Windows. Think of WinRT as a replacement for Win32 and similar to it, new features are not available downlevel.

But as for the asynch parts of .NET 4.5 which you posted about a few days ago, here - to have the Windows.Media namespaces available as a download would be über phantastische. ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Kean Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 1:02 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: RE: Windows.Media.Capture namespace WinRT is Windows 8 only. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ian Thomas Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 7:27 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Windows.Media.Capture namespace I have been reading the latest MSDN Magazine on developing for Windows RT. A simple example of its efficacy was given by Jason Olson (on page 21), for webcam capture in an application. Doing this has been a right PITA for me until now. Searching the MSDN Dev Center, the Windows.Media.Capture namespace is described<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.media.capture.aspx> - does anyone know if this is downloadable and for use in Windows 7? ________________________________ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia
