A computer is not an "appliance" to me (nor to a lot of power users).
I know, right? but I think it's all in how Microsoft Markets the product, actually. They could use Metro for home Users, and then use the "Pro" line for power Users, Corporate people.

I know that Microsoft has consolidated the corporate/home lines, but I think it's time to put a line between them now. Kinda like in my time where the home users had 9x and the Business/Corporate/Power Users had NT 4.0. , at least aesthetically.

If Microsoft really wants Metro to be in the forefront of their revolution, then they should abandon the old paradigms to create a new experience. The only problem I came across with Windows 8, is that it feels like two differing UI's forced into one OS. If Microsoft wants metro, then they should build a desktop experience that's built around it, WITH NO COMPROMISE.
