It is exciting that Windows 8 is supporting so many languages for Metro App development. One that especially interested me was the HTML5/CSS/JavaScript. What I don't understand, is this code going to get compiled in a sort of executable (like the C#, VB, and C++ option), or would my app basically be running in IE as an actual web page?
