Given the way most things in Windows 8 scroll sideways rather than vertically (at least in the tile-based UI things like the store, or Netflix), having things ordered in columns rather than rows will be a more intuitive ordering of stories than orienting them in rows. On a side note, I was dismayed to notice that the "App website" link led to Quixby's "coming soon" screen, which is probably not terribly helpful for users who might want to know more. However, this is fairly well mitigated by the excellent selection of screenshots showing different use cases. The only question I couldn't answer from reading the in-store details was whether it would allow me to log in and up-vote stories and comments, since I consider that an integral part of my usage of HN.
