I upgraded to 8.1 from 8.0, and it defaulted to the desktop, not Metro.
I think I read somewhere that 8.1 checks to see if you have a touch
screen. If so, it defaults to Metro. If not, it defaults to the
desktop.


Not true. 8.1 defaults to the Metro side even if you don't have a touch
screen. I have helped with ones that upgraded to 8.1 and ones that
bought computers with 8.1 installed both defaulted to Metro, no touch
screens.

In my case, it defaulted to the Desktop after the upgrade, and I had to
dig into the system configuration to disable that behavior. And, guess
what? After reading into it, that is exactly what is supposed to happen.
