Have you seen or tried to use Win8 preview on a desktop, non-touch computer? Absolutely horrible! With touch, it would be fine I suppose. But on the desktop, it reminds me of MS Bob in its simplicity.
Just looking at it on the desktop really shows why Apple didn't just port OSX to the iPad/Touch/iPhone, wrong OS for it. And Win8 has no place on the desktop unless what actually ships is hugely different from the preview.
Which button would be that you click to get the desktop complete with Start Menu? Answer, none!!
And simplicity is the name of the game. Is there any particular reason one would prefer something complex over something simpler?
when the simplicity gets in the way, ie; the Metro UI which is specifically a UI for a touch device, and which Win8 incessantly wants to switch back to.
