You do have the option to switch to a classic windows UI instead of the new Metro one. And ya, it is based off the Windows Phone style...i guess that's the direction MS is going with. Like i said, i just wanna try it cuz i can utilize it via my Playbook tablet.

It is supposed to be their tablet OS, so dont expect to see it on PC too much. Most users havent even upgraded to W7, so i think MS is focusing on the tablet market with this. With its uber synchronization with MS office, i imagine they're gonna try to treat it the way Blackberry's are treated within big organizations, and i can see that being a big plus when it comes to using tablets within companies for productivity.
