Scratch 2.0 METRO? or DESKTOP?

Any windows 8 user or computer geek out there knows about the developer release of windows '8' right? My question is Will scratch 2.0 be metro or a desktop app.
MAC,LINUX are all desktop based, obviously but what of the next windows and scratch 2.0?

I'm not sure what Metro means, but there will both be an online and downloadable version of Scratch 2.0.

I'm assuming it will be desktop, especially because it's written in Flash and Windows 8 won't be out before Scratch 2.0, I believe.

TheMagician is correct. And the Scratch Team is aiming to release Scratch 2.0 around Scratch day 2012. And the Scratch Team also confirmed that there would be both an online and offline version of Scatch 2.0.
