The full screen, multi-colored tile metro screen is subtle and not jarring? The one that pops up whenever you want to launch a new program, completely removing any context of what you are currently working on? Is that what you're actually saying?

The strange rotating 'subtle' animation you are trying to say makes up for this just makes it all the worse by putting completely unnecessary 'bling' all over a workstation.

So you haven't used it, then?

Clearly he hasn't.

'Jarring' is different from 'subtle'. Jarring implies that the transition between states is abrupt and confusing, nothing about how obvious of a transition it is. In fact, in order to not be jarring, a transition should be very obvious to the user.
