I admit I haven't been paying close attention, but I was under the impression that 10 was going to be dispensing with that crappy Metro interface: apparently not.

What they are doing is allowing you to turn metro apps into windowed apps, so you dont have to full screen for everything, a welcome change in my opinion. Switching back and forth seemed very abrupt.

Other things I noticed they are rolling back when I ran the TP, the start menu is basically the Win 7 start menu with some extra features, no more metro start screen (that I saw.)

I agree. I will be replacing the start menu with a third party alternative as soon as possible. I don't need constant trivial updates that distract me and take resources.

All of the active tiles are of course optional.
