Are you implying that I’m a rectangular live tile???
Because if I was one… I think I would be dizzy from all the movements!
haha!!! I appreciate your humor!

I’m not saying you can’t love Google Music, it just strikes me as a weird choice for an example of a Metro app. But if you have a lot of Metro concept, hopefully they come to fruition someday.
And honestly, I just don’t know what you mean by:
The unification would be the next best thing to Google Music on webOS.
Don’t do that… don’t just throw the WebOS name on my face like that… that wound hasn’t healed yet.

Well… that is kind of… sort of… happening.
The desktop is going to get a flatter UI to make it look a little more Metro-ey. But if you think about it, there’s no point in devoting way too much time revamping the desktop if they’re trying to get people to move away from the desktop and spend much more time in Metro.
I much rather they spend that time perfecting Metro as much as they can and just touch up the desktop a little bit.
That aside, I don’t think those users will stick with Windows 7, Microsoft is taking big bet by introducing Metro as much as they have and they have to avoid bad outcry or else they could give Metro a bad rep that would be hard to brush off.
Again, I really do see your point and we’re probably both right… but that’s just something to keep in mind.

Exactly… they had the little arrow that said “click here” pointing towards the start button.
They already said that such problems as the ones @musicssound is referring to are a result of the product not being finished yet although honestly I haven’t experienced any of them myself.
And I think we know for sure many many more apps are coming. Although choosing Google Music as an example strikes me as a weird choice.
Metro still has room for improvement but certainly it’s coming into its own quite nicely.

Thank u so much! I’m so happy that Metro fans are more by the minute. We are all HUGE fans even though we are regular sized… That’s the Metro effect. :-D

Is it the colors?
Are you a “color-makes-me-sad-and-depressed-and-makes-me-want-to-lay-on-the-ground-and-talk-about-my-feelings” kind of guy?
Sorry! I couldn’t help it.
No… seriously… care to elaborate?

Thank you so so much! I’m so happy you appreciated it!
I really couldn’t tell you about Windows 8 on a MacBook Air but from what you wrote I would guess you’ll enjoy it quite a bit!

Not really true… The Desktop on Windows 8 performs a function… mainly the support of legacy apps on x86/64 and also the more advances features like file management that you wouldn’t want to do on the Metro environment. Is not there as a “fall back” in case something faiils.
Think of it as an advanced button and when you press it all of these things appear. Plus, you don’t really have to use the Desktop.
I see your point, but I believe that for the gigantic user base that Windows has, they went about as far as they could.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
Agree… Microsoft better get this right! You are doing the right thing by holding out on buying new hardware because I’d bet we’re going to see some crazy sleek hardware.
Ando hopefully Windows 8 will bring traction to Windows Phone so that gets better too.
Greetings to beautiful Nigeria!

Right on point! Quite possibly that’s the main reason Metro feels so natural to me.
I just hope more people see it the way we do and at least try. I have the feeling they’ll get used to it very quickly.

Yes! You just made my case for me… thank you!I really just wrote this to see if people unfamiliar with Metro dared to give it a chance.
I think we both know on which side of the disclaimer are you.
Loved the “That’s what she said” BTW. XD

Yes. Basically that… but it took me quite a few more words to express it right? If only you’d had been there!

As odd as it sounds… I really couldn’t summarize it more than this to get my point across in an attractive way.
But I’m kind of hoping people will still read more than 2 paragraphs… or else, all my faith in humanity is lost. :-D
Please readi it… I think you’ll like it!
