Microsoft officially said that win8 will support apps for windows 7... there's already a problem with ProtectorSuite (Fingerprint log-in manager) which is fair, but uTorrent relies on windows files for establishing connections, so it may be not that difficult to check those dlls. For example imageres.dll got some offset for shortcuts, so you'll get slightly offed icons if you used those from imageres in win7. So could be with connection dlls, function rename, new check. Anyway +1 on the topic and thx to devteam
