I've come to accept the dual personality of win8 and was going to hold off any real judgement until we started to see the hybrid laptops that have touch screens. As of this week, we've seen quite a few and it is strange. You are touching metro and then may be thrown into classic, where touch is second class. The same shortcomings since Gates started championing convertibles become apparent at an instant. The worst of them, which im sure is configurable, was that touch+drag === click+drag. So in an instant the user is taken from a situation where touch+drag == drag screen around to one where it means highlight. I'm no UX guru, but that was startling. Old people will hate this.
