Does anyone think it doesn't suck on a desktop?

Why in the he77 Microsoft would try to make that a default for an OS that likely targets desktop users is absolutely beyond me.

The OS itself seems pretty good, but they've Vista'd the interface. I would have expected them to have learned not to throw a crappy interface at people just to be different. Obviously I was wrong.

Of course even the non-Metro desktop has changed fairly drastically (not Vista'd, but considerably different).

They should make Metro a non-default installation option - "Do you want a cutesy touch interface or are you using a real computer?"

Yeah - I've been playing with that and Visual Studio 11 all day.
