Apparently there is something different, but I don't know the details. 
Microsoft is not allowing other compilers to support true WinRT 
development. See the recent messages in the Embarcadero non-technical 
newsgroup. Embarcadero has tried to get some deal going with Microsoft, 
but Microsoft stone-walled them at every step. :-(

Microsoft is the next Apple, with their "walled garden" design.
