The visual contrast between Metro's modern look and the vulgarity of the standard Windows GUI is nauseating.
I hope Apple won't be tempted, rather, I'm sure they will not. It looks incoherent: from the the Metro UI's concept of tiles, which I dislike, to the duality of the desktop as an app. Cool for geeks, maybe, horribly confusing idea for anyone else. It's stupid to force a full fledged desktop into a tablet. Yet again, anything with a fan is not really a tablet, that's a PC.
