Sure, you can believe this, and I'm sure the good folk at Microsoft believed it too. They were wrong, and so were you :) Metro not only messed up people's workflows by taking over the screen, it itself was massively inefficient for any kind of work due to low information density. The Microsoft Store was a cesspool of scamware because who the heck would develop exclusively for an unpopular platform beyond scammers trying to trick grandma. Good riddance.
