@cmuratori Just for Metro apps, right? -
@CastIrony Yeah - if you don't want to be part of the new interface, and only run in the back-compat desktop mode, you are OK (AFAIK).

@cmuratori Sadly, *for now* this only blocks "Store Apps" not desktop apps; speculating about desktop app eventual fate isn't *journalism*. -
@nothings Even the "Store Apps" part should be big news. This is the first time Microsoft has shipped a new Windows UI that's closed! - Show replies

@cmuratori I'm still confused by the whole thing. Are Metro apps == Windows executables? -
@KommanderKlobb Metro apps are Windows executables that use the new UI (tiles, full-screen, share/search/aware, etc.) - Show replies
