It may be I self filter, I read this comment:

"There are certain things that you do with your PC every day that should form the basis of the operating system. Email. Instant Message. Calendars. Media Playing. All of these functions in Windows 8 are carried out through Metro apps, and they are universally awful. There are no desktop apps included that do a similar job."

And I thought, you didn't open up a web browser? I do all of those thing on the web and none of them in the OS's UI. Well maybe not media playing.

It's not quite true anyway (it still includes Windows Media Player) and, besides, Windows 7 didn't include mail/IM/calendar apps of any kind.
