Metro (yeah I'm not going to stop calling it that, it's annoying), I think is a mostly a flash in the pan. It will probably be gone in the next consumer OS. It wouldn't be the first time Microsoft offered some UI "game changer" and then backed off. In fact ... It's just so generic boring and not particularly useful. I haven't paid close attention, but if you look at demos of what Microsoft called Surface back in 2007 for tabletops vs this Metro stuff now, which one is more visually compelling? Kind of a strange place they went, in my view.
