Man.. Metro/Windows 8 is like watching a train wreck in very slow motion. Everyone knows the hybrid desktop/tablet UI is a disaster and Microsoft out of a middle-management positive reinforcement loop of putting their heads in the sand keeps chugging along down the rails. Everyone who has used it and reviewed it so far has said it's a disjointed experience to have the start button go to a completely different UI with its own app ecosystem. It sucks more because personally I think the windows desktop OS is much better than Mac and Linux for a number of reasons (I spend time in each Mac/Linux daily for development.) Have you been to a computer store lately? There are tons of desktops with touch enabled displays, but they have only been gimmicks. There's no real demand for them because the usability cases aren't practical when you already have you hands on a mouse/keyboard. Touch = tablet UI. Mouse/keyboard = Desktop UI, and which UI is the majority of windows users? Anyways.. god dammit Microsoft, get off your high horse and fix windows 8 before you really start pissing people off with another ME/Vista release.
They're not going for upgrades on already existing windows customers computers, the main goal is to sell new tablets and touch enabled laptops and all in ones. There was a section of WPC 2012 where they showed off some of the new OEM devices and guess what, the majority of them were touch enabled.
