I thought so, I don't think it's anything different to today, what the
Windows team has learnt and taken is to mandate asynchronous calls for all
Metro apps (A silverlight thing), sandbox and restrict file access, bring
more friendly looking API's (A .NET thing). Correct me if I'm wrong,
everything
