Thanks for confiming this.

How else can someone praise C++/WinRT versus the capabilities of C++/CX, which was finally something on the Microsoft side that could be compared with C++ Builder.

Sure it is an uplevel from WRL, however almost no one outside Redmod ever cared that WRL existed.

The only way to consider C++/WinRT on its present state as good is if the person in question never knew anything better, including MS own tooling.
