Apologies for getting back on track, but it seems to me that one very important point regarding Visual Suite has yet to be discussed.

Does it utilize the Metro UI? If not, I don't think Microsoft is going to be willing to consider adopting it.

If it does utilize Metro, however, I'm going to have to give it some serious consideration. Developing touch screen applications in Visual Basic 6 via a Flash IDE is just the sort of thing I've always wanted to do.
