I'm wondering if you've tried this new OS out yet.
The "Start-Menu" has now gone, no button - nothing. Metro is the start menu. That means to launch apps you've not created desktop shortcuts for yet, or pinned to the taskbar, you need to launch Metro. I find it quite jarring switching between the two, but I could get used to it.
Also, to bring up things like "settings" for a given item, you need to hover over the top-right corner and then move your cursor directly down. This is just plain weird for me, and I fear what a less confident computer user would make of this. Effectively things they may need are completely invisible, unless they know where to look.
My biggest concern is that sometimes you can be using a screen in the old way, e.g. network preferences - select an option, and then a completely different style of screen appears out of the right hand side for you to action on. It's just plain weird and confusing, and needs to be sorted before launch.
It seems to me that in an effort to simplify the OS they've made it way more confusing.
