And you're comment is exactly why I wouldn't do it in Windows 8 either.
There hasn't been a single time when the answer to some deficiency was not "Well, this version of Windows/.NET is cr*p, but the next one is going to be perfect for every need".
I didn't choose to go with C# for this project - someone else did. Being the low-level guru, I was called in to fix all the deficiencies.
Really, .NET has been out for 10 years now, WPF for 5. There is no excuse for this abysmal level of support, and until I see Win8 actually working properly with sample code that addresses stuff such as I mentioned above, I won't consider it.
