Can you explain this? As a Windows 8 user I'm wondering what the issue is.

Try asking a non-savvy user to use Metro. Or do anything when logged in to Windows 8 for the first time for that matter.

They mixed mobile and desktop approach within the same OS. Time will tell, but I'm not betting on it. I may be wrong though.

they fucked it up with Windows 8...only in the eyes of hipster geeks who probably haven't spent any real time with it.

I've been using it on my main workstation for the past few weeks and I think they did a great job.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention...it's not perfect (oh noes!!)
