Not necessarily. As mentioned here by MS, direct distribution of Modern apps is an option too.
Yes, but with their own further restricted permissions which may be different for each different user. And not only the app, but every data...
Modern apps are installed in the WindowsApps folder which is an hidden folder located at Program Files. They benefit from the same...
Desktop apps have access to other apps and system files. Modern apps are sandboxed from one another. CCleaner already supports IE10 "Metro" and...

Just released by Stardock some weeks ago. For those that absolutely hate (even if they don't know why, lol) the Modern UI, I think ModernMix...
Yeah, I saw rumors of a "boot to desktop" feature. Having an option wouldn't hurt, but they need to be extremely careful with defaults...

It just seems that you (and many others who despise Windows 8 and the Modern UI) didn't really try, test, research and experience it at all....
