Ladies and Gentlemen,
Some thoughts...
Technology is primarily driven by need, nothing changes for the sake of changing...case in quote the need for faster internet connectivity has led to 3G, 3.5G and now LTE technologies and soon FTTH and etc. its with this that the OS cannot be left behind. I guarantee you that in the next 18-36 months you will hardly come across a hardware vendor who is not shipping a touch device.
Windows 8 is about choice, are you a power user/information worker who needs mouse and keyboard or are you a busy corporate executive who needs to quickly read news on the fly on a touch handheld device. its all about choice.
None of the above excite me more than the opportunity that Windows 8 offers developers to write apps that run on the new Windows 8 UI. Let me pose here for a moment for this point to sink in.
Rich are those who will embrace this new opportunity and start writing apps that will run on Windows 8 UI. Am excited at the fact that lots of technologies are supported, with a simple JavaScript knowledge or C# and a few lines of code you will have your Windows 8 App running. With this the opportunities are unlimited be it you are developing apps for internal organization consumption or for consumer, developers are the biggest winners in the Windows 8 era.
If you are used to complaining and not taking time to see the opportunities ahead of you, am sorry you will end up a perennial loser.
my thoughts!

This link you have given is quite misleading in relation to the topic!
It talks about Windows 7, which I don't remember as having been your problem.

Now i can smile... atleast. I have un-metrod the UI and put the old start menu from a third party vendor. Think that was my problem.
Being an unungrateful user who only sees what is not there (Start Button). and ignoring all the effort work it took coming up with the metro UX.

Windows is like those pharmaceutical firms that continue to produce medicine that is not needed, but consumers flock to the pharmacy to buy them, so the pharmacy firms will continue to produce the medicine nevertheless. Windows is not going anywhere soon. 20+years and still selling like hot cake.
