No the base of Windows 8 is solid. Simply not having that Metro interface, making metro the new API that ran within a traditional desktop would have been just fine.

From that, just create an interface for Windows tablets that is similar to the existing Metro interface as it does work there.

It still blows my mind that they didn't at the very least make Metro optional for Professional and Server SKUs. Or, better yet, off by default unless the setup detected a device with a touch panel.
