And here is the thing, Majority of users ARE average-joes. That's why iPad has been an incredible success. It's a power user's nightmare,and yet look at how it has fared. The average-joes are the ones who will dig Metro, and that's a vast, overwhelming majority.For power users, there is regular desktop. However, Gradually, as an eceosystem of apps starts thriving, the power users will start to discover that are okay with giving up a little of that power for well-designed Metro apps that make their lives a whole lot easier and will start shifting away from desktop to Metro. Just as content writers, programmers, musicians etc have started taking to the iPad for their day-to-day work. I say W8 is a win-win for everyone !
