I think the Javascript library for Windows 8 is specially designed for Windows 8 apps. You can try using jQuery and other javascript libraries. I have made some simple HTML5 apps for windows 8; you have to use similar syntax for browsers but you cannot use WinJs Library. Also I do not think WinJs is open source.
But I really like WinJs Library. It would be great to make IE browser apps with the same library.

Hi Bijooo,
As you can see when opening the js files they are copyrighted "© Microsoft. All rights reserved.", besides WinJS is not designed to be run in browser.
