Unless development has somehow changed over the course of the last few months (which I'm pretty sure it hasn't), Metro is a use-if-you-like-it feature of Windows 8 that is designed for the many touch enabled computers/tablets/phones out there (and thank god, running standard windows on a touch enabled device is a pain in the rear, and I'd rather not torment myself with the likes of Droid or iOS), while your standard ol' desktop will still have access to the standard ol' Windows desktop. Complaining that you don't like Metro, which is being shown off because it is new and *cool*, and condemning Windows 8 for it seems rather short-sighted when the OS still comes with all the other features of Windows 7. (unless details have changed at some point that I wasn't aware.)

Mouse and keyboard? Standardize Windows 8 in the classic format.
Touch screen or otherwise? Standardize Windows 8 for the metro format.

Why is having more options a bad thing?
