So, when was the last time you saw a MS OS release where the UI for the home version and the UI for the pro version was different?

It is completely fair to assume 8 is going to be the same. Especially considering the way MS has completely toasted the Start Orb.

Which brings up, if I’m actually going to get a different UI with the pro version, then why am I being forced to use Metro at home? Why don’t I get a choice?

This is almost the same as if MS forced you to use Window Media Center as the OS shell. I actually think Media Center’s pretty cool....in a media center. Not on a desktop.

Likewise, 8’s got all sorts of potential for being cool on a tablet or phone...but annoying on the desktop.

And let’s face it - I don’t really like Apple, but do think for one second they didn’t wonder if Lion should be interfaced the same as iOS? If it were a good idea, they would have already done it.

wow. A little nyquil and I suddenly can’t proof read.

You do that Server doesn’t use the aero interface, right?

I can easily see an app that launches into admin mode where you can do all your admistrative functions from there.

Apple does not think of everything, you know.
