Hi Krzysztof, I'm really bummed to hear you say there are no plans to migrate or port Windsor to WinRT. Even if some features would have to be dropped, Windsor is...*hands down...my favorite IoC container.* I've used it for years, love every bit of it, and will greatly miss it developing Metro apps. If there are no plans to port Windsor...is there any chance you might create a Metro (RT)-specific IoC container instead? I love your approach to IoC, and I honestly can't really imagine not having that amazing power in the Windsor way (even part of it) at my finger tips. It seems the only alternative I might look to, Ninject, is also lacking a version compatible with WinRT...
It's a barren IoC landscape for Metro, it seems... :'( Sad day...sad day...
