I don't see it as two desktops.
I see it as one desktop with an expansive start menu (oh yeah, they call it metro).

When I use my win7 machines I have my desktop and a start button which opens the start menu.
The start menu contains some recently used and preset programs. I can toggle between that and the all programs (to get a list of programs installed on the machine).

When I use my win8 machine I have a start menu (metro, same as if I had clicked the start button on win7), except that I can organize my start menu by breaking it down to groups by categories and move the tiles to their respective groups. If I scroll down I can see all the programs installed on the machine.

In either case (or computer), I can install my programs and use them on my desktop same as I've always worked on the desktop. I can develop software on either one, I can test, run, install and uninstall as well. It's just the same.

Whenever I've installed upgraded versions of a previously install program, my first step is to figure out where they moved menu options. They're still there (usually), they just look different or are in a different place.

It's all about how YOU look at it.
