Windows RT didn't break any compatibility because Windows RT was built on the ARM hardware platform. Win32 was just a software platform on Intel's hardware platform and won't work on ARM's hardware.

- bratsche 13y agoI think I meant to write WinRT instead of Windows RT. My understanding is that Windows RT is the new ARM-based Windows OS, but WinRT is a new set of system calls which replace the old Win32 APIs. Am I mistaken in this?
- signalsignal 13y agoYes. The Windows-Intel platform is fully backwards compatible back to Windows 3.1 with 32-bit.
