I was wondering if previous apps can be run on windows 8 or is it that one has to recreate the app using WinRT & Metro technology?

Your previously built apps will continue to run on the Desktop. If you wanted your app to run as a Metro Style app it will require at least somewhat of a rewrite.

The easiest type of "legacy" app. to get working on WinRT is a Silverlight one. And within that subset the easiest is one written using MVVM.
This is the best analysis I’ve seen so far.

Well, if you wrote your app well, you only have to rewrite the user interface...

Yes, Microsoft always offer backward compatibility in all its Windows versions.
