I really have hard time understanding why MS has insisted that you must use metro in Windows 8.... why not make it a selectable option to use metro or the classic start menu style.... that way everyone is happy and tablets and such get the nice touch screen interface. It can't be that hard to do. If you take out metro and bring the classic start menu back i think Windows 8 would be a nice little upgrade... it's no slower than Win 7 and the new task manager and menu styles in the classic explorer menus are pretty good.
