Your request/suggestion is sure very interesting.
thinBasic (as many standard Win 32/64 bit applications) works fine under Windows 8 as tester here: http://www.thinbasic.com/community/showthread.php?11668-thinBasic-under-Windows-8-Consumer-Preview&highlight=windows
Developing something native to thinBasic able to generate a Metro (or better Windows 8-style UI) app is something different.
Yes it's different, it uses a small win32 api reference and winrt api reference to read and interpret .XAML files.
I read a article about Win32/WinRT api calls in Delphi to develop a Hello World sample, displaying Windows 8 Metro Style UI.
