Research direction
Review the existing iOS (#3) and Android (#4) backend implementations to understand the pattern for platform backends. Study the project's platform abstraction layer to determine required interfaces. Then design a similar implementation for Windows RT using the WinRT APIs. The issue lacks details, so further clarification from maintainers may be needed.
