When I Google "what is winRT", the first link is to Wikipedia[^]. I think that page explains the basics in a nice and clear way.

Just learning experimenting with WinRT..
I can see you can mix and match C++ and C# WinRT component, they feel like being in the "same realm"..
But how do I mix with Javascript/HTML component?
Say I have a normal DirectX C++ WinRT app, with some AI in C# and I want to show some information text panel with lots of interactive rich text, a job for Javascript.
How do I show the Javascript/HTML in my XAML app?
Further, ideally, I'd like to use some of my 'business data' to customize the text / HTML, any sample?
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

I have not tried this. I think you could style a WebView to resemble the rest of your application. Then arrange the html, css and javascript to present the data.
Hope this helps!
If you found a different workaround, I would love to hear about it.

It was mostly a theorical question... I gave up on it (or haven't reached the stage where it is useful yet! ^^)
Using Webviews and the appx protocol I was able to serve HTML/js files from inside my app, but not use C++/Cx class in those js files.. :/

Any browser works excellent on Windows 8. Desktop Version of course.

Ashish G. of MS wrote: "As the flash is integrated with Internet Explorer 10 and does not comes as plug-in, it should work on both – Desktop and Metro version of Internet Explorer."[^].
As example of the confusion: Tim Anderson's blog writing about an interview with Scott Guthrie[^]. Do note the wild diversity, and contradictions, in the various readers' comments.
One wonders if integrating Flash is, on a primary level, an anti-iPad/Apple geo-political move; but one might ask: why not SilverLight; unless one claims, as some responders to the article above do, that WinRT + XAML is "SilverLight 6."
IE10 on Metro and WinRT supposed to be the "no plug-in" browser, so MS emphasized in various public statements, so I thought.
I remain confused about whether on ARM hardware in Win8, other browsers, other than IE10 will be usable.
All attempts at un-confusing me are appreciated 
thanks, Bill

IE10 for Desktop suffers no changes. You can have any plug-in on it!.
In Metro you cannot install any plugin. It's not supported. So, the IE10 for metro have silverlight & flash plugins built-in. For security or compatibility reason may be.
Good point of view from you =)

I won't think so as Metro applications are essentially in their own sandboxes...

Have a Win 8 Desktop app with buttons that are gray, when when moused-over, their color changes. Also shows tooltip.
When the user touches, not clicks or mouses over, I want to NOT change the color not show the tooltip when touched?
Anyone know if this possible? Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

They have really cleaned up alot of things in the RC version. Even a problem that I was having with the ListView control during my app review with Microsoft, was fixed in the new version. I have the consumer preview and RC both as VMs on my Win7 machine. I even installed the RC on my youngest son's laptop and it works well for him too.

I was wondering if previous apps can be run on windows 8 or is it that one has to recreate the app using WinRT & Metro technology?

Your previously built apps will continue to run on the Desktop. If you wanted your app to run as a Metro Style app it will require at least somewhat of a rewrite.

The easiest type of "legacy" app. to get working on WinRT is a Silverlight one. And within that subset the easiest is one written using MVVM.
This is the best analysis I’ve seen so far.

Well, if you wrote your app well, you only have to rewrite the user interface...

Yes, Microsoft always offer backward compatibility in all its Windows versions.
