As an app launcher and glanceable dashboard I think you can, many more apps available just one key press away and up-to-date info on many of them, without filling the tray with garbage and popups.

The other way it could be argued is focus, because the apps are full screen there are no distractions, there are a number of writing apps that people rave about because of this.

No one is suggesting you spend all your time in metro on a desktop, for what I do it wouldn’t be productive, but that’s not to say there are no arguments for it.

Unless I’ve missed some other images I’m not sure how there can be much comment either way, It’s a small screen grab of an unfinished ui.

If Microsoft made any of those changes I would stop using it, and I think most of the positive a articles written about it over the last year or two would no longer apply.

The question is, will any of them be any good? As good as an iPad?

I bought the new iPad about a month ago, but I intend to get a win8 tablet as soon as a good one is available. This probably means a Nokia/arm device, but well see.

They’re going to be pretty disappointed with everything if they expect to be able to plug a mouse and keyboard in and use Windows classic.

Seems like opportunist bashing to me.

No one is actually going to use a desktop browser on an ARM device, apart from office and maybe explorer (as in files not Internet) I don’t see anyone going in to the desktop on an ARM device, it’s not like there will be anything else to do.
