I do not see the wide-use of Metro on my desktop,
if all of it, and the apps, only work on 1 of my multiple monitors?

Windows 8 looks cool but why drop the start button? Is it another step to be a wanna be MAC????

Installed and removed: not liking Metro: feels like a Disney interface for pcs: looks great but doesn't really do anything. Can't see developing LOB apps to work with this but perhaps that's me not seeing the benefits of this. Anyone got any benefits that can share?

Agree.. Disney Interface.
The UI is not suitable for business use.

So I've deleted it back... It seems that VMWARE don't like it...

I had no problem installing it in VirtualBox, if you want to give it another try.
|
|
|
|
|
I installed it on VMWare without a problem. Used version 8.
If you make a new virtual machine, tell it to install the OS later, then attach the ISO file and all is well.

Give me a machine, and the time to spend messing with it, and I'd love to. But the answer is no, and perforce, no.

That's why you have virtual machines. And then you can shelve it.

I just downloaded and installed it yesterday. I had "The Build Tablet" running the developer preview and have been looking forward to this update for a bit. I plan to spend this next weekend running it through it's paces with VS11.
For those of you worried about the "Touch First" style of W8, don't. It's still perfectly usable with a mouse. I actually prefer not to touch the screen so as not to leave fingerprints. It takes a bit to get used to where some things have moved, but other than that it seems solid and responsive (it did in the Dev Preview, and haven't had any problems in the last 24 hours)

I can't stand when people touch my screen and leave fingerprints! If my keyboard is any indication, I have wear marks where my fingers rest. I don't want my screen wearing out by my disgusting hands touching them. Maybe I'll have to put on gloves before I use the touch screen. Then I'll just be a mechanic!

May skip this one, Windows 7 does what I want and can't justify
upgrading.
Besides I'm so broke me and my girlfriend got married for the rice.

No it's the 10 sec. rule. i.e. If retrieved within 10 secs. you're good to go.

I will never use this sorry excuse for desktop OS.
I will instead move to linux, and Win 7 and Stay away from Win 8

I feel that Metro is the new Vista.

It seems to be faster than Vista on the same hardware. I'm using it right now as my primary OS and am really looking forward to the "real" release.

So is Windows 7, which I currently have for my machine at home, and I do like it.
What do you like most about Metro, just curious?

I like the look -- it's clean, simple, and functional. It's capable of providing a reasonable amount of information at a glance. It doesn't seem to be a resource hog. Now, I'm not sure how well some apps would translate to Metro (I'm thinking of stuff like MS Office, Visual Studio, and other large, complex applications), but for a lot of the things we do, I feel like it works rather well.
Keep in mind that I've been using Windows Phone since it came out and own a Zune HD (which is Metro-styled also). But I loved the look of Windows Phone when I saw the first screenshots, long before I could get my hands on one, and got excited about Windows 8 when I saw those first shots of the new Start screen.
In the case of both WP7 and Win8, the start screen and I just get along. It was comfortable from the first time I used it. I'm not sure if I'm really conveying anything useful there, but that's it.
