Should I update to windows 8.1?

You already can, was added in the last update I did, it pinned the store to my menu annoyingly.

No as in you'll actually be able to run the metro apps as desktop apps. You can pin them to the start menu now but when you access them you access them in metro mode.

No, I can open them on the desktop an open them, it also lets me minimise them on the desktop.

But when you open them they open in metro mode. You can't have metro apps physically on the desktop with other apps e.g. like this program lets you do http://www.stardock.com/products/modernmix/

However apparently they will bring this to windows in general soon so you could have a metro app in a window on the desktop so you could see it and all your desktop apps

My new laptop is windows 8.1, don't have any problem with it so far so no reason to hate it, but more ways to personalise your PC with apps and etc which i never use
