The windows 8 consumer preview is out to public and it does feel different, rather it is different. This windows is more made with touchscreen users in mind than the PC users. This version of windows has integrated with multiple services like facebook, google, linkedin, flickr. Using these new apps and hubs with a touchscreen can be a joy. But the problem is there is no functional app store yet. Metro style interface may work good on touchscreen devices but it can definitely be a mistake on PC's. There is a difference between a tiny tablet and 27" screen and this windows is definitely going to get a rough welcome. Plus, switching between metro and desktop doesn't quite make sense. Metro is like the beautified but way less functional substitute of desktop. Personally about this whole metro thing i believe microsoft could have done what apple has on this one, make separate OS's for tablets and PC's.
