backward compatibility

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?:confused:

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. Assessing the Windows 8 Development Platform[^]

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. Regards.
