No metro project templates in Visual Studio Express 2012 for Desktop?

Both of the download pages for for Desktop and for Windows 8 provide the same web installer called: "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop". I installed it and here is its "New Project" window:

New Project Window

In this tutorial page, it says I should have templates like this:

Create a hello world app
(source: microsoft.com)

How can I get these templates? I'm using Windows 8 x64 RTM.

You have most likely downloaded wrong Visual Studio Express version, maybe there is broken link on that page.
If you want to develop Metro style apps for Windows 8, download the proper Visual Studio Express here:
