I've had the opposite experience. I bought an MS Surface Pro and I absolutely love Windows 8 and Metro. It's the best tablet experience going. I like it so much I bought a Windows Phone too.
The Surface presents new interesting dynamics in that my tablet can become a full fledged PC whenever needed. I do dev work in Visual Studio on it. So I find Windows 8 to be very successful for this particular device. Admittedly, the desktop experience is a tad awkward and in that mode some of the Metro stuff could be toned down. But I am very happy with this "hybrid" machine overall, and think MS is on to something.

- city41 14y agoI agree. When Win8 was first announced my hunch said they needed separate versions for tablets and desktops. Now that I have a hybrid desktop/tablet device, I understand their intention. With that said, it's completely true the desktop side of Win8 needs a bit of work.
