What makes you think there are any win32 APIs left? RT talks to NT.

  Don't Metro IE and Metro Office still use Win32?

    IE (well trident) isn't tied to Win32. Office I'm not sure but I understand they've rewritten swathes of it for 2013.

      You sure that IE isn't? Well actually, you're probably right, considering Trident also runs on Windows CE. But I'd be surprised if they went to the bother of bypassing Win32.

        100% sure. I've seen the source code for trident via shared source a few years ago. Its well written and fairly modular. It has COM/IDL bindings but the core is very clean. I'd say it was better written than chrome. It also used to run on Unix!

          On UNIX? Where?

            IE4 ran on Solaris and HP/UX.
