Just like Windows always has, and then some. Chrome's already got a Metro-friendly build (though the UI is still identical to the desktop); and Dropbox et. al. can hook in via "Contracts" (similar to Android Intents) to other apps and Windows itself.

Its not quite identical, if you launch it via the desktop its the same but if you launch it via the "metro" launcher its more like a Chromebook.

Different styling, but same overall UI. No modifications I'm aware of for touch use or "Metro" restyling has been done so far (and I doubt they're concerned until x86 tablets ship in significant number or if/when Microsoft gives way on alt browsers for WinRT)

Another thing to note: For some reason, Chrome uses a different user profile between the Metro and Desktop environments.

Not any more, they've gotten rid of that ( since M23, IIRC)

I downloaded it today on W8 and it still did separate profiles. This is the release version from www.google.com/chrome.
