I think you've hit the nail on the head. While Windows 8 desktop is pretty much identical to Windows 7 desktop, the rest of Windows 8 offers quite a lot. Metro works really well as a consumption interface - I was using it the other day to look at sports (looking for Olympic news), and I wished that there was an Olympics metro app. Trying to view olympic news through a browser on nbc.com feels so awkward compared to the sports metro app.
