Hmmm, maybe... I don't know, perhaps they

FORCE THE #%&^#@ METRO

And not all laptops are convertibles, the desktops DEFINITELY aren't, metro apps are vastly less powerful than real programs (that's why they are fast, they don't have all that stupid functionality to bog them down).

So yes, there will be "fuzz" whereby people re-install the start menu so they can access their programs in a convenient manner.
