title: Using WinRT from Node.js
body: <p>WinRT makes its full API available to Windows 8 &amp; Windows Server 2012 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Runtime#JavaScript" rel="nofollow">JavaScript apps</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible for a node.js app running on Windows Server 2012 to get access to this API?</p>
  
  <p>I am asking because not all low level node modules support Windows (e.g. to query metrics) and with WinRT you could access the OS directly.</p>

  <p>@Roger Rowland - I'm not sure your information is entirely correct.</p>
  
  <p>MSDN says WinRT can be used in non Store Apps - see "<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj856306.aspx" rel="nofollow">Managed desktop apps and Windows Runtime</a>"</p>
