I believe that Microsoft has too much legacy code in Windows to change it. At best, Metro is a slapped on interface on Windows. I have not used Surface but have a laptop with Windows 8. Hardware wise, Surface is quite good but Windows has two basic problems: 1. Legacy Code: No matter what, there will be some part of Windows that will behave oddly and not upto current standards. I use multiple Wi-Fi networks and my iPhone, iPad and my friend's Windows Phone automatically use proxy settings for that network. Windows 8 needs a manual change. 2. Slapped On Metro: Metro feels very unpolished. There are settings and other apps in Metro but real power still lies with classic Windows UI. Microsoft is presenting it as a "no compromises" approach but it feels like an all compromises approach.
