Where have you seen anything substantive about B&N switching to Windows 8?
My guess would be that they are simply porting their existing desktop app to Windows 8 (tablet version), which they would probably have to do anyway. Nice to get paid for it, and nice for Microsoft to have that piece in place at launch.
