I agree completely. By "undesigned" I'm not trying to say "no thought into it"… I'm merely commenting on the failure to make the most important decision of all: is it a UI for mono-task, touch-driven devices or multitask, mouse-driven devices? That failure creates this seemingly lack of design: the feeling that each interface belongs with that feature/application. If you use Windows 8 on a desktop, you start using the built-in apps less and less and will be drawn to install third-party, standalone apps. That is almost the exact opposite of Apple, where you're driven to use Apple's built-in apps because they're "they fit"… Again, Microsoft has great designers and Metro has some awesome design ideas but it's, in my opinion :), fundamentally undesigned because it fails to make the hard choice of defining what is its purpose and use. :)
