I have to agree. When they changed the Start Menu from the 95/98/2K
model to the XP model (which was a minor change) they gave the option
for both - that gave people the time to learn that the new Start Menu
was better. If they did the same with Metro, then over the next few
years (if it really is better) people would make the switch. The
problem is that ever since MS released the Ribbon, they've been
burning the ships with every change and forcing users to keep up.

They should have kept the GUI from 7 and made 7 leaner and quicker
for 8. MS wants so badly to be in the mobile space they'll change
every UI (desktop and Xbox) to make people "want" it on their
phone, even though it won't work on any platform.

I think the issue is that the metro desktop is separate from the standard
desktop.
If there was no standard desktop and instead there was only metro then the
issue would have been less, in the sense that you either like it or hate it.
Right now you are forced to use both and the current implementation is
clunky to say the least.
But I like the concept of the metro desktop and I think it needs a lot of
polish but at least for me it's a step in the right direction.

It's a radical departure and as with most big changes people will always
resist. I think a year from now you will look at the desktop as being
archaic.
