Hmm... this is news to me. Are you saying they're moving to an iTunes App Store kind of format, where if manufacturers want to release programs on the Windows 8 platform, then they have to get them certified via Microsoft and can only do so if it's in the new Metro style?

If not, what's to prevent Adobe from ignoring that and simply release their programs the way they used to?
