Oh no, not the darn ribbon. I hated it when they did it to MS Office.
:(

it's a complete PITA! :x
as mentioned by *Skud*, it makes the user more confused! Often i have to search the whole thing, clicking hither and thither for the particular option i'm searching. And ohh yes, the interface looks cluttered!

Garbage

God of Mistakes...
Tried it on Oracle VirtualBox yesterday. Quite impressed with Metro UI. Though its kinda useless if you don't have a touch-screen.

Overall UX has improved a lot. Bundled applications - Tweet@rama, weather, etc. are just brilliant piece of work. :)

On a side note, I would recommend reading "Building Windows 8" blog to whoever wants to know more about Windows 8.

Uhu, Not Gonna Happen!
I am so sorry guys, been very busy yesterday in office so couldn't reply or try anything new in Win8.

I didn't get time to try any games or see default games or programs either. :(

@asingh: boot up time is same as Win7. I know it was mentioned in some blogs that it gets boot up in seconds but I didn't feel so. Although, in a multi-boot system, after selecting Windows Developer Preview aka Win8, the Metro UI shows up quite quickly :)

boot up time seems to be same as in win 7. but i could not shut down the system ;) clicking the shutdown didnt do anything..had to do a cold shutdown. not sure whether it is a one time problem.
metro ui is cool. but it will more useful for touch based display. i am missing the old windows start menu. cant find the installed programs.
also could not find how to close the open apps from metro ui...
