Especially the upcoming Windows 8 (with Metro) will require that any IO is programmed asynchronously. In C#/.Net there seems to be special await and such like constructs for that and the JavaScript API will have its own mechanism for that to work.
What will be the C++11-integration for that? Is the a concise example (eg. reading an image from a file for display?) for modern (or upcoming) Windows? If it’s using C++11 features I would expect that async or future is involved?
