[dba-Tech] Internet Explorer Data Leakage (versions 6 to 10)

Hi Stuart

It is not enough to quote some doubtful article. If you study the drawing
for a moment, you'll see that the WinRT API is not a subset of the Win32 API
but a "sister" to this. In fact, this is the whole idea of WinRT - to offer
a modern an much more developer-friendly AP interface to the Windows core
aligned nearly 100% to that of Windows Phone.

"The API for WinRT is a subset of the full Windows API "

"Windows 8/ARM only allows sandboxed apps from independent developers. These
only have access to the WinRT API, but not the full WIN32 API. Yes, the
WIN32 API _does_ exist on W8ARM, but only Internet Explorer and system
processes get access to it.
...
Developers can use our tools to create native C/C++ code for maximal
performance and flexibility, in addition to the C#, XAML, VB, and HTML5
based tools, to target apps for WOA, so long as their code targets the WinRT
API set. Additionally, developers with existing code, whether in C, C++, C#,
Visual Basic, or JavaScript, are free to incorporate that code into their
apps, so long as it targets the WinRT API set for Windows services. "
