It's nice to see Microsoft being serious about the new features in Win8 not just being gimmicks. My original hunch was that they'd allow for declarations for certain pieces of the system and completely ignore others. It seems like they have actually implemented declarations anywhere the user has the opportunity to change a setting or customize something.

I was not aware of async / await keyword usage. It looks very useful in WinRT scenarios. A little while back, I used to write event handlers for async calls. Then I used Lambda expressions. Guess, now with WinRT, it is going to be more async / await type of code.

They actually aren't part of WinRT, and are available now in the Async CTP (and will be part of C# 5)

Do you have any other good, concise examples on the new async features? I'd like to see few more dirt-simple ones (I'm not wrapping my grape around it yet, I think because I'm cozy with the current techniques available for performing asynchronous operations. [old dog here, ya]
