"There is waaay too much focus on metro."

Arguably Microsoft haven't exactly been helping here. I recently attended a Microsoft conference on a topic unrelated to Windows 8 and it was very noticeable that the official PowerPoint template for the show used a "Metro" theme. Which I have, to admit, makes a pleasant change from the usual PowerPoint bullet points...

However, one of the most amusing things I saw at the show was when I sat behind someone who was using a laptop with a touch screen and Windows 8/Metro. Guess what happens when you have a laptop with a touch screen balanced on your knees and you go to touch the screen.... As you might expect, your latop falls over and lands on the floor.

Maybe, this kind of excessive focus on metro is because its the real novelty in this os. The rest, is just a stronger and faster Windows 7. But understandably, that doesn't seem to be that interesting in comparison
