And that exemplifies Microsoft's biggest problem, peoples laziness and fear of change. I'd guarantee most people giving Windows 8 a hard time have never used it for any decent amount of time if at all.

I'll save them the effort -

Metro sucks big time, stick with Windows 7 until Microsoft finally let you disable all the Metro features when using a Desktop.

---

Which will never happen. What is it you don't like about Metro?

---

It's useless when being used on normal desktops.

---

Have you used it for any considerable length of time? I'm talking at least a week or so.

---

I've been using it since the consumer preview was released.

I gave it a chance to let it grow on me, didn't happen.

Shame, because the desktop side is easily the best Windows so far. It runs fantastically and there's some great improvements in there, I really love the new Task Manager.

I think metro is stupid, i think its made for simpletons, its not just microsft doing it, dumbing down the experience, linux is doing it too.

I think natty narwhal is stupid too, I think lion is stupid should be called puddy cat.

I just hope things like kde keep getting developed.

Well that's fair enough then just gets on my nerves when people slate it who haven't used it I'm still undecided, leaning towards it being good once people get over the fact it looks radically different.

I've been using it almost all day so far. There's not any huge changes from the consumer preview but this whole metro interface is really growing on me! Boot times are brilliant!

People are always going to judge it without even testing... We're going to have to wait a little while longer for a bigger selection of apps...

What? I have tested it...

[LordRoss]

Hmm.

I'm not sure I like it.  Perhaps it's fine on a tablet or phone but don't think I like the looks of that on my PC to be honest.

Works a lot better than you'd expect, and changes are still being made.
