I just want to add that they are blocking out browsers from using the "classic" interface on the ARM platform. You will still get the Metro interface alternative browsers. Not saying its good its just you wont be noticing it too much on Arm tablets for the most part.

My main argument against Win8 stands with the fact that its a touch interface.
