MS makes profits by selling copies of Windows.
The more copies of Windows that MS sells, the more profit MS makes.
Most people buy some version of Windows when they buy a new computer, and MS then makes a profit.
But most people don't buy a new computer until they need one, delaying MS's profits.
If MS can come up with a good new OS, people will buy it for their current computer, thus increasing MS's profits.
If the New OS forces users to buy a new computer powerful enough to operate it, MS will still make an extra profit. But that strategy failed with Windows Vista.
If Win 8 is popular on touchscreen devices, people will buy more touchscreen devices, increasing MS's profits.
By pressuring you to use Metro, MS prepares you to buy smaller touchscreen devices running Win 8, and this will increase MS's profits.
So MS knows what it's doing. It is setting you up to buy various smaller devices that will run Win 8, and thus they will increase their profits.
