I'm not a particular fan of the Metro interface or Metro apps but the idea that mouse support was included as an afterthought is just plain silly, IMO.
This comment from 1775 grabbed my attention straightaway as well, but I just decided it was a bit of creative flourished prose. MS knows it takes a long time for one tech to eliminate another - pretty sure they knew touch would not REPLACE a mouse, even if just in METRO...a 7" Metro W8 tablet will demand the mouse equivalent stylus in some apps.
