It all depends on the market.
If a customer demands so it will be done, plain and simple.
I wont either force or avoid its implementation.
It already happened with other technologies and hypes, this is another one... nothing new about it.
So far I can tell that no one (customer) bothers or even knows about it.

It makes a difference to code real Metro Apps (programming against WinRT) or to adopt metro style look and feel in currently existing frameworks and applications.
We plan to do the latter one...

For many people it has been normal to wait for Microsoft to release version 2 or 3 of anything before they even took a closer look at it. That used to be their way to avoid using something before it had reached a certain maturity. The problem is that Microsoft's last year's one and only solution to everything will not reach maturity anymore before being abandoned for something else.
But it's not really so important wether or not I drop .Net and go looking someplace else. As far as I can see it my bosses are abandoning Microsoft in a large scale. They are investing millions in Java projects and .Net development is as good as dead. So it will only be a matter of time until I will have to think about where I'm going as well. At the moment I would most probably try to go back to C++. There I have such a broad choice of environments and operating systems that what happens to Windows 8 and Metro will be entertaining to see, but it will not be of any importance.
At least artificial intelligence already is superior to natural stupidity

The reviews of Metro/Weight aren't exactly glowing at present. Well, they are glowing with rage...

It all depends on how Windows 8 will be promoted and received.
At this point I am more likely to switch - dare I say defect- to Android, which will be a real pain is I like c# and .net very much.

Try Monodroid.
If you like it please share your experience.

As far as I know Monodroid does not run Android (you need a PC) which kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion, as I would like a clean break.
