Win 8 is practically a new OS target - the nt module may need to be replaced with a metro module to handle it well. No, it's not. Everything continues to work just fine on Windows 8, as long as we keep developing desktop apps. Only if Metro Apps are the target things may need to be replaced (but only very few changes are necessary to the nt module to make it compile).

Yeah, that's what I meant. I should have said "WinRT is ..." instead of "Win 8 is ...". If nt can be made to work, than that's even better than I expected.
