I was under the impression that DataMiser was referring to desktop applications, not those for WinRT, since he asked, "So does that mean that people will not be able to install software from CD/DVD that was written for Windows XP/Vista/7?"

Obviously, WinRT is a completely different beast that looks very much like the iPad. I think you are perfectly right when you say that the only way you can install apps for WinRT is through the MS Store.
