The editors didn't like
Desktop mode is sidelined
Using some desktop apps can be fiddly
Metro will likely confuse desktop users
Besides the interface
It's not a huge leap from Windows 7
The learning curve is steep and in-app navigation isn't obvious. There are just too many known unknowns here
Modern UI a major upheaval
Legacy apps confined to desktop
Metro/Modern is confusing and will require people to re-learn Windows
Supplied modern apps are mostly rubbish
The UI can be very inconsistent
The steep learning curve
Fledgling app eco-system
Clunky on traditional laptop
Start menu gone
Can't boot to the desktop
You'll want a touchscreen/trackpad gestures/Touch Mouse
