There is noting modern to Metro. It’s a lousy cell phone OS that is terrible as a desktop OS. The backend has some nice improvements, but the UI is just garbage. It is just completely useless and a definite step big back compared to windows 7. Seriously, they couldn’t even make the “apps” load in a window? Do you really need your control panel or IM to load as a full screen app?

Not sure what you mean, but the desktop is still there with the same keyboard/mouse support as W7. But with some Metro/Modern UI additions, like the app bar to the left and the settings bar on the right that are accessed with the mouse. Sure, the start menu/button have been replaces by the new Metro/Modern UI, although there's still a handy rightclick menu where the visibal start button was. With a lot of handy shortcuts to common 'poweruser' tasks. But I don't see much difference in the way I would use W8 or W7. W8 does have some interesting new ways of working and handling apps. It seems one is in the 'I like it' or 'I hate it' camp, there's no real in the middle for now. Me personally am very interested to see if whole the Metro/Modern UI apps thing takes off. Having the same app on your phone, tablet and desktop with 'Skydrive saved' settings sounds good in theory. It's to see if MS can pull this of much more cleanly as previous large projects.
