I just tried porting Python as a Metro (Windows 8) App, and failed.
Is this required for Python to run on Windows 8?
No, normal 'desktop' programs will still run in desktop mode.
Sorry if that's a dumb question. I'm not sure if "Metro App" is a
special class of application.
Yes. They are basically 'phone/touchpad' apps, and will be managed in
the more or less the same way. They will probably only be available
through MS storefront, after vetting by MS. Only Metro Apps will survive
a system Refresh, along with user data. Traditional unvetted,
direct-from-supplier, desktops apps will be wiped because they might be
'bad'.
