Kinda the way Apple did with iOS/OSX Launchpad.
After a couple of days with W8 on all my devices and my Surface on its first trip, I disagree - Metro is the new way to go, and even on my non-touch Asus laptop, I love having it. I think they did the right thing to try and get people away from the old and over to the new.
