Windows phone looks OK on a phone, I was a little angry when they forced the interface on my new computer.

I have the Surface Pro and it is fantastic interface for a tablet.

If you upgraded a desktop or laptop, then I can see the issue with not having a touchscreen.

They are making Version 8.1 that will allow you to boot into desktop mode.

Should be out within 90 days.

I spent $5 and bypassed metro myself.

My laptop has a touch screen, Win 8 implementation is not great IMO. I have a two year old Asus Transformer and the combination of keyboard and touch screen is more intuitive and easier to use. I do a lot of work that requires filling in check boxes on web screens, it always works on the Transformer, it is hit and miss with Win 8.
