This is what I think that a lot of people is misunderstanding. You will use the desktop as always in a workstation. Only while launching apps you will use the new start screen, unless you pin your most used ones in the taskbar. That way, you could work all day long without using the new start screen.

So I guess I'm not sure what compelling case there is for Metro on the desktop then. What does it give me that the old UI didn't?
