I'm glad Turner's saying this, because i share the same view. However it's ironical to an extent. If you're forcing Metro down desktop users' throats, it seems more like you're actually saying "the tablet and PC are the same thing", or "use the PC like a tablet!". And then Turner says "PC+".
If they just gave a clear choice to users during installation...so that people didn't have to resort to hacks to restore a comfortable user environment.
In my view it should have been slightly different. Keep metro on the desktop, but keep it shut unless explicitly called upon. Keep the start menu, aero, etc just the same. When you want to connect to the PC remotely via Surface phones/tablets (over wifi/bluetooth), metro pops up on the main (PC) screen.
Something like VLC Direct Pro.
Everyone would have been happy this way. But i guess then people would have said "wtf it's just the same as win 7, we're not upgrading!"
So they should have sold it for $15 online and $50 retail.
Now, everyone would be happy
Of course MS won't listen to me
