Created new feature to track this work - CB-6976 Add support for Windows Universal apps (Windows 8.1 and WP 8.1)
Should we create a new Jira component specially for this? Windows Universal apps vs Windows 8.1 vs Windows? I personally prefer just Windows since: 1. this is what we target to - single 'windows' platform and single 'windows' tag (similar to iOS where we don't have separate iPhone/iPad components); 2. easy to use/understand for developers. For example, w/o knowing what Windows Universal apps are it will be hard for developers to report new issue and assign correct component. Thoughts? Thx!

Since there has not been much action on this item, I think we are okay to just move ahead Parashuram. Let's consider this last call.
