That doesn't change the fact that D's current default collector 
is comparable to Boehm.

I don't know anything about C++/CX, but wikipedia says:

«A WinRT object is reference counted and thus handles similarly 
to ordinary C++ objects enclosed in shared_ptrs. An object will 
be deleted when there are no remaining references that lead to it.

There is no garbage collection involved.»
