If you read the article I linked at the top, etoven, apparently Windows 8 will have two different desktops, one of them that tablet-style desktop based on Windows Phone stuff, and the other one a more traditional desktop. So you won't be required to use the tablet-style desktop. I'm not sure what I think of the change, for a desktop it seems somewhat pointless (hopefully the standard desktop is good...), and as for tablets, well, Windows tablets aren't too popular now for sure. Who knows if this will change that.
