He has no points at all.
The entire article is either hate-based linkbait, or came out of his own misunderstandings of Windows 8, Metro, and the Desktop mode/app.
If you want Desktop mode, then select it and use it as default on bootup. It’s not going anywhere. Otherwise, use Metro.
You can't (or wouldn't want to) run VS.NET and build applications, create Office Documents, edit video, etc, in Metro and/or with the touch-interface on a tablet.
That's because Metro is for average CONSUMERS doing average tasks (email, youtube, twitter, games, etc), it's not for PRODUCERS.
We will still have the desktop and keyboard in 10 years because it's the most productive way for us to use the computer. And there is money in it. For everyone.
And the author is completely out-of-line to assume that the Metro UI/style has not been constantly tested for the last 2 years to fit the consumers' expectations, needs, and to solve their pain points.
