This is how I am using xmbclauncher on win8:
Set xbmclauncher as shell
Add explorer.exe as an application to start along with other applications
Enable the option to start the metro gui when xbmc is not running
Disable xbmc autostart at logon.
Add xbmc to the metro ui
When Windows is started, xbmclauncher will start explorer and metro ui. XBMC can be launched by clicking the metro tile using remote cotrol.
I also use hybrid shutdown instead of full shutdown so that Windows loads in flat 10 seconds.
