I do like the new visual scheme (Aero glass was ugly, the new flat color style is a lot nicer), but the visual flashiness really isn't the reason I like 8 at all.

f the operating system is an irrelevancy, then there's no reason for Microsoft to offer downgrade rights.

The OS is relevant. It has to be the exact same for as long as possible so the secretary doesn't need to be retrained.

I don't use Metro for much other than launching apps, so never really noticed these.
@Seiji
Awesome video.
Sorta on the topic of drivers. People upgrading to Windows 8 or doing a clean install on a new machine won't be able to get manufacturer specific Metro apps. Most of them are probably useless bloatware, but some of the utilities you actually want (Thinkpad Power Manager/equivalent to set charging limits on the battery, etc).
I wonder how/if MS is going to fix that...
