Some of the more modern stuff is in a separate WinRT category that is a pain to use. E.g. requires "identity".

So if I decide to code a windows app just using C Win32 api, will it outlive the current generations and be guaranteed to run fine(compatible) on future versions, while the modern alternatives will be stuck in a constant cycle of deprecation?
