The Metro interface is just one of the improvements you get in Windows 8 though. Something like the charms and cloud integration are also pretty big improvement, not to mention the general improvements you get to performance and security.

That's just the problem, I'm not too fond of the Metro interface... (Bring back Blades on X360!!!)

I'll still get Windows 8 down the road, I'm a early adopter on most Windows releases, I just don't get the "This is gonna be gold" feel like I did with Windows 7, but then again, that might just have been because Windows Vista was horrible.

Hopefully they'll integrate GFWL/Xbox Live better on pc this time around, the fact that I can't get achievements offline on my pc is an absolute game breaker for me with that platform, it must be do-able for them to have a update platform that when you go online with your PC or Xbox it can just update your Gamertag to save all the achievements together.

And this message just got a bit longer than I intended, sorry Rainbird.

If you don't like Metro, you're not going to like where Microsoft is headed then, because everything they do from now on will be very Metro. And I'm sure the GFWL-service will be improved for Windows 8.
