The Metro interface is the center of the user experience on ARM tablets, so there shouldn't be much in the way of desktop artifacts lingering around there. If you use your desktop in the normal "Classic" interface, the Metro interface will appear only as a replacement for the Start menu -- which has been utterly broken for a long time now. It also takes the basically broken idea of Windows having desktop widgets -- that are always hidden behind your apps since most people either maximize apps or split the screen between multiple apps -- and replaces them with tiles that you can make appear when you pop up your start menu. Finally, it creates the possibility of having a third category of device, similar to the Samsung tablets distributed at Build -- tablets that can go native-tablet when you carry them around, but also dock to become your desktop PC, with keyboard, mouse, etc. Or that let you use a pen with digitizer for applications that require greater-precision input than normal finger-buttons do. I find this latter category really intriguing, especially if someone makes one that works like the Asus Transformer (where it docks with a keyboard to become a clamshell-style laptop). All your data and everything you use is on your one device, and you interact with it in whatever mode is convenient at the moment. If someone can make the right device, I seriously want one of these.
