>>I rarely see Metro. I usually put the machine into sleep. When it comes back, it's back at desktop. It's a bit difficult getting to rarely used applications. I do need to switch to metro, but a single press of the Windows key does that. I then type in the application name, so no hunting for one tile among dozens.

>>Often used desktop programs are pinned to the task bar. But, I have to navigate to the .exe in Explorer to pin it.

>>So far, other than having to go to Metro and pinning, for me, it isn't much different than Win7.

>So in other words, on your laptop you are avoiding Metro and using the desktop.

>How many people will get excited about metro and touch interface when they need to primarily use the desktop because the metro interface isn't worth a damn on anything bigger than a tablet (if that)?
