Sep 14, 2011 at 22:34 comment added Pavel Minaev Most people who worked with it so far know it as WinRT, and it's also what's used in the source code and thereabouts - e.g. header files for it in Developer Preview are in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\winrt\", and the most fundamental one is called "winrt.h". Users on MSDN forums also seem to be mostly using "WinRT". I'd suggest sticking to that, especially as it is a fairly unique label that is also convenient for search engines and such.

Sep 14, 2011 at 15:34 comment added user102937 winrt is a "proper" name, like "John."
Sep 14, 2011 at 15:32 comment added user154510 @John winrt may be unclear to those unfamiliar with it, but it's not ambiguous because other Windows runtimes aren't referred to as "winrt".
Sep 14, 2011 at 15:26 comment added John @Robert windows-8-runtime I understand, but I fail to see how winrt is less ambiguous than windows-runtime.
Sep 14, 2011 at 15:17 comment added user102937 windows-runtime is far too ambiguous. There are many such runtimes (i.e. any runtime that executes in a Windows environment). It should probably be either windows-8-runtime or winrt

Sep 14, 2011 at 15:11 comment added Ian Ringrose We don't care about the "average user" as SO is a programmer's site.
