afaik windowing in metro mode isn't part of W8 or W8.1, as to boot to
desktop and have a wallpaper on the startscreen are.
The "Metro app in a window on the desktop" is something done by a
company called Stardock, and is called ModernMix.
Unless I understand your comment wrong.

There are more than a few apps that barf at win8 in metro mode, and
even with several tweaks some are just plain too painful.
The Crytek SDK one and half release ago in example outright refuses to
run for many people.
It's a minority, and my experience is Soft, Maya, PS, ZBrush etc. all
run perfectly fine, but it's not an irrelevant minority. You might
want to make a census of your apps and look up on the interwebs which
work and which don't.
Before contemplating win 8 though I'd give it a couple months. 8.1
with a lot of fixes and a less aggressive metro mode (not to mention
windowing in metro mode) should be out in October, and might very well
fix A LOT of these issues.
