You should see Engadget's preview on it, and also listen ThisIsMyNext's latest podcast. They all complain about how inconsistent and messy it is to get back from one "desktop" mode to the Metro mode. They should've kept them separated as OS's.

Thanks! Just read read Engadget and it's amazing how many people agreed with that. Shows desktops are not going anywhere for a long time. Maybe MS will add a 'module' so it's a full desktop when needed? If you want to do any meaningful work a desktop is a must.

And let's face it, with all their faults Windows works pretty good. It ain't easy to make an OS that works with all printers.....scanners and everywhere in the world. My desktop is 4 years old and works perfectly.
