It seems that Windows 8 will have an entirely new mode of operation called Metro (alongside the traditional desktop). Although primarily targeted to tablets using touch, Metro will also be available using mouse/keyboard on regular desktops and laptops.

Metro apps are sand-boxed and are written in a new runtime called WinRT, using C++, C#, VB.NET or Javascript.

The developer preview already has a plugin-free Metro version of IE 10, and they seem to be working on Live Mail also.

So where does this leave SeaMonkey/FireFox/Thunderbird? Is Mozilla just going to concede the Metro experience to Microsoft?
