For the most part, WinRT is an OO wrapper around Win32. But it's probably
better to think of it as Microsoft's new method of developing API's for
Windows. For example, if you want any of the new Sensors API's your ONLY option
is WinRT. Practically, Win32 has been deprecated for new work.

Silverlight was DevDiv, and was a major threat to WinDiv because it allowed you
to develop on OSX. Internal politics put SL on life-support. :-)

Unlike Apple, the Windows Store makes no specification about the language used
to construct apps. The acceptance process consists of a gamut of automated and
IRL-user performance and standards conformance tests.
