  I honestly think the Metro UI is pretty neat. I don't really like most of the apps I've tried though, but the OS itself is pretty innovative compared to iOS. Love the app switching by swiping in from the right. The charms bar makes sense. Swiping from above to close an app is convenient. Search is good (but improved in 8.1). Most of all it's really snappy. Of course I'm biased because I actually bought one. It's the first MS product that impressed me for a long time. I like humble, beaten down Microsoft, I can feel they're actually trying and fighting for their life this time around, and I think if people would just try it out instead of spewing the default hate for M$, they might actually like it too. I have a feeling it's too little too late though, not sure if their business model can survive this decade. If Apple came out with an Air tablet that could be used as a laptop replacement, then that would probably be it for the surface and Windows 8.
