I am considering porting some of my favorite vector based icon sets to Windows, and was hoping to include support for Windows 8. Has Windows 8 changed the icon set format? Can I use SVG for my desktop icons?

Windows icons are still raster images. I believe InterfaceFormallyKnownAsMetro tiles can take SVG images though.
In application icons can be whatever the application framework handles and is largely independant of the operating system.

@Misha I've not heard that. If you find a reference, feel free to correct my answer.– DeannaOct 29, 2012 at 15:02

Journeyman Geek: MUI refers to the Multilingual User Interface already, though :P– JoeyOct 29, 2012 at 15:18
