Because of that they are able to use very small text in their interfaces (like the music interface up top). I have found that you really need to dramatically increase those font sizes and tile sizes in order for people to be able to actually be able to read them when sitting 6 feet away on a couch.
All these metro (still calling it that) inspired skins has inspired me to try again creating a skin and yeah, I came across the same thing regarding how awkward sitting 6 feet away can be for text size so now trying a mockup for a touch friendly skin that is metro-ish.
