In the terms of use for Windows Store, does using flash technology makes an app into a "desktop app"

Question

b. Desktop App Submission. You may submit an app description for one or more desktop apps to the pre-release version of the Windows Store. Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement, you understand that Microsoft will not offer any desktop apps through the Store and only Metro style apps are made available through the Windows Store. Microsoft may, but is not required to, list the desktop app in the Windows Store together with a link you provide, to a website where users can acquire the app. You are solely responsible and agree to maintain that website and provide an updated link to Microsoft if the url changes. Desktop apps are any apps built using APIs other than the APIs for Metro style apps that run on Windows 8.

"Desktop apps are any apps built using APIs other than the APIs for Metro style apps that run on Windows 8."

Answer 2

You can direct store based questions to the Store forum.  And no, you cannot use the flash control in Metro style apps.
