If it's just a click to switch to the normal desktop for the whole computer session then it's not an issue.

If there are restrictions on which apps can run on the normal desktop (random example: they must be digitally signed by MS), then that would indeed worry me.


^^There aren't.

And yes, you can switch from MetroUI to Pro(what we're used to) with a click.

Xbox Live on Windows 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pS60SDXD88o



Quote:
“It’s a huge opportunity for you as developers,” explained Ben-Menahem on Thursday. Microsoft has done some incredible graphics work in Windows 8 to improve the speed of game launches and their performance. Microsoft is bringing the following features to Windows 8 Xbox LIVE:

Roaming save state
Title managed storage
Beacons
Avatar awards
Avatars
Friends list and community
Achievements and gamerscore
Multiplayer
Roaming storage
Real time counting services
Achievements



Ben-Menahem demonstrated achievement support in Xbox LIVE for Windows 8 using Pinball FX2 (see below). The game launched very quickly and was smooth throughout the demo. Microsoft is implementing Metro style notifications in the lower left hand of Xbox LIVE games in Windows 8. The notifications slide into view for achievements and appear green in color at this stage of development.

Perhaps the most interesting part of Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE implementation is the fact that Microsoft is building async multiplayer into the platform. Async multiplayer will allow Windows PCs, Windows Phone and Xbox 360 users to play against each other using multiplayer and matchmaking functionality. The support brings a new level of multiplayer gaming to Xbox LIVE once Windows 8 is available.

Ben-Menahem also revealed that Microsoft plans to open up its developer side of Xbox LIVE for Windows 8 in a weeks time. Participating for developers will be free of charge and the audience at BUILD on Thursday morning appeared impressed with Microsoft’s work on Xbox LIVE for Windows 8. Expect this to be extremely huge for Xbox and Windows gaming.

We reached a day when people are looking for ways to make Windows more "accessible" it seems. They're dumbing down Windows because it didn't sell enough millions of copies Cool Face.

Doesn't mean you'll have to pay on the PC as well. They already tried that and it didn't work.
