If you and/or Microsoft could add some sort of periodic regression tests 
to the Boost testing matrix based on the work done to allow Boost 
libraries to work with Windows Store and Windows Phone I am sure it 
would be helpful to all Boost developers, especially to those whose 
libraries are used by the Microsoft technologies. I am pretty sure that 
one can create a regression test focusing on only a subset of libraries 
needing testing in a particular environment ( Windows 8 and 8.1 in your 
case with VC++ 11 and 12 I am guessing ).
