I just don't see people running away from Windows 8 as much as I see them running towards it. The mass market is absolutely looking for a Metro type experience.

I just don't see people running away from Windows 8 as much as I see them running towards it. The mass market is absolutely looking for a Metro type experience. For everyone else, you get into Desktop mode by clicking on the desktop tile, that's right there in your face after bootup. One click. The desktop is now an application in itself, but I'm not sure if I'd call the desktop a legacy app for legacy apps. There are plenty of workflows, stories, and apps that simply can't be reduced to a Metro type use-case.
