I've recently installed Windows 8 Dev preview, though I've ran into quite a few issues. Looking at the new C# API, I can say some features are missing. For example, I cannot find a wait to read a file - classical StreamReader no longer takes a filename string but rather an instance of Stream.
What am I missing? I've turned the Object Browser inside out, not actually finding anything.
Update: this is obviously the difference between a Portable Class Library and the traditional compilation: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.streamreader.aspx. Hence, is non-portable Windows 8 API available to us yet?

Likely the WinRT doesn't support that. It should be in the full .NET 4.5.

The developer preview only includes libraries for developing Windows Metro Apps, and not the full framework. This (sadly) also excludes System.Data and a few other well-known namespaces.
