Great points you're bringing! To be honest I'm always up for more options. Why not offer separation or the current solution for all users, although I think that it would be hell to manage two very different ideas.

As for the different modes per screen, why not? It would be nice to have a clean shortcut to say switch environment, but just for the active screen. Basically it would transfer the apps on that current screen from Desktop mode to Metro mode, so it is a workable solution.

As for the app imersion problem, that one is tricky since... well Metro apps are not specifically designed for a mouse and keyboard, it works, but it's not the best. So is the Metro environment. So my point of view is you're using an app not optimized for mouse and keyboards in an environment not optimized for mouse and keyboard... so by bringing Metro apps to a window environment, you're slashing half the problem.

The core idea is you have all your apps, files and stuff on your computer, now how do you want to interact with them. It may not be the most gracious idea, but it's better than trying to get the charms bar with your mouse or being stuck trying to resize windows with a touchscreen on the Desktop.

Don't be an apologist. This is Microsoft. They have the resources out their ass to commit to this and it still wouldn't even come close to registering the tiniest blip in their budgets.

MS needs to git good and do what the post suggests, in that they need to seperate touch and desktop interfaces for Win9, or else Windows is dead to me and many power users alike.
