Line 11: == Technology == WinRT is a [[native]] runtime system that is implemented directly on the [[Windows NT]]-kernel and thus not based on previous platforms, like the [[Win32]] [[API]]. Neither is it a [[managed code\|managed]] [[runtime system]] as the [[.NET Framework\|.NET]] [[Common Language Runtime]] (CLR). The system is low level and at its core based on [[Component_Object_Model\|COM]]. It does however share some features with the CLR/CLI standard like the metadata format. The programming model is natively [[object-oriented]]. WinRT is designed to create a completely new programming paradigm that is not encumbered with legacy code. WinRT applications will install in seconds and run within a sandbox. Microsoft claim WinRT is a [[native]] runtime system that is implemented directly on the [[Windows NT]]-kernel and thus not based on previous platforms. However, examination of the runtime libraries reveal that they actually are built upon [[Win32]] [[API]]. This is the same approach used by the [[.NET Framework\|.NET]]. == Services ==
