My skepticism regarding W8 on the desktop is well documented here. However, this discussion spawned questions in my sleep-starved brain.

Are there any Metro-style applications that would be useful (not fun or entertaining, but productive) for someone running W8 on a traditional desktop system at work? Are there any that are superior to existing conventional Windows apps, or that don't have traditional counterparts? Are there any that would give a desktop user a reason to appreciate Metro?
