Finally, it took Redmond two Windows releases.

It's good that the "metro" apps now run in window-mode too next to Win32 apps.

Though, I wonder if Metro apps will be around in Win9. They could shut it down like Silverlight and the Vista/7 desktop gadgets. Instead of metro apps, saving websites to desktop (links) like in Win7 and FirefoxOS would make a lot more sense (IMHO).
