Well, not exactly. In Windows 8, Apps can have very different designs, but they use common interface elements and interactions. For example, there are many styles of app bars, but they all come up with a right click.
That is to say that every app does its own thing as far as the design is concerned. Excluding the lack of 3D decorations and skeumorphisms, there's little consistency in their look and feel. Not necessarily a bad thing, but that's a new push in a direction of one-design-per-app for a desktop OS.
