I did some googling and it seems like Windows 8 Metro apps might have similarly neutered file handling. Has anyone tried it out and can report?

My understanding is that Metro tends to sandbox an apps data in a way analogous to that of a mobile OS. I believe the intent is to prevent one Metro app from overwriting another apps data or corrupting the file system.
