Basically the concept is to include both the Metro + desktop UIs and let the user explicitly choose. When you're in tablet mode, all desktop apps run full-screen (or using the Metro-style split screen) and when you're in desktop mode, Metro apps run windowed like Desktop apps.

One interesting side effect I noticed while using it is that Metro / Modern apps tend to use larger fonts and layouts (which doesn't really work that well when you shrink the apps down to a smaller window). Possible solutions include auto-scaling and letting the app present a different interface when Windowed.
