Unlke both Android and OSX or IOS you dont have t have loads of apps open. ach app is already talikng to each other.

Its amazing how all this time multitasking has been done extremely porly in any OS.

Again, I use professional applications. What is Metro going to do in a real workflow environment with real applications? How is it going to help me multi-task in the Creative Suite? Sure, it may work like widgets for crap like email or Twitter (even then, I need dedicated Twitter software to handle multiple accounts) but for real productivity, Metro is just going to get in the way. I don't need to download it to find that out. When Win8 was announced, I was thrilled at the idea and watched more demo videos than I can count and at the end of the day, it's still a hodge-podge of two user interfaces that doesn't improve the experience for people like me.

Again, I like the idea. I do not like the implementation in a real working environment because, for me, it serves no real purpose. I'm just going to spend 99% of my time in the desktop anyway. It reminds me of a lot of the stuff added to OS X over the past few versions. Multiple desktops, Launch Pad, Expose, blah blah blah. At the end of the day, just a bunch more crap I don't need or use (though I use Launchpad occasionally because of its trackpad shortcut... it actually IS easier to access).
