Good god, Metro is ugly.

How could anyone want that?
What's with the block colors? Put some actual design to it!

It looks extremely cool. I'm not sure why everyone hates on anything that looks different than they're used to...

Squijello, a lot of what people dislike about "Metro" is the enforced "dumbing-down" of the interface. If you're not using a touch-based device, Metro is an impediment to using the PC.
M$ has always been prone to falling into this trap; the ribbon menus of Office 2010 are a great example. They LOOK kinda purty, but productivity drops through the floor as people have to re-learn an entire interface for no good reason. Ask most people who've used both types, and 80% or more STILL hate it.

while I would agree in most areas, that "if it ain't broke, dont fix it"; to be competitive in the tech industry you simply cannot leave anything alone and expect to grow... it is this reason Apple has been able to take market share from microsoft... Microsoft is taking the lead this time and I know I do not speak for everyone, nor do I want to, that said, it is a good move imo.
