This question shows a lot of the confusion that people have around windows 8. I partially blame Microsoft for this, and I also largely blame uninformed comments on technology related websites that have, intentionally or not, spread misconception. Don't expect win8 to suddenly transform legacy apps into 'metro' style apps. The current chrome experience that you have on win7 isn't going to magically transform to a full-screen, touch optimized experience unless google put's in the effort to develop the metro app (whether google is doing this work or not, I'm not sure) Instead, the chrome that you are familiar with will run on the desktop, in the same way that it does on win7, in a windowed mode that you can click/drag-around/resize.
