No surprise it's boggling your mind if you haven't used it. If you want to stay in desktop mode, you can, with the minor exception of having a start menu that displays more stuff and takes up one monitor worth of space.

Windows key brings you to the start screen or from the start screen back to the app (or desktop) you were viewing. Winkey + D displays the desktop.

I think the reason why they force their Metro UI on people is to warm them up to the whole way it works, so that in the long run some people might even buy Windows phones.

I hope they get it right. Would love to see Windows becoming a true alternative to Android (if its not such a walled garden as crApples).
