Will the capabilities and permissions security features be available to desktop apps as well? Or only metro apps?

I'm getting anxious. Need to find a machine I can do without for a few months to use for a Windows 8 install. I tried numerous options for VM and none worked. Any suggestions welcome.

Interesting, we have desktop as a tile :) When the desktop tile is used, is it possible to open and close applications like we normally do!?
