Seems like everyone except Microsoft expected this.

yet they were pushing metro so hard... wow.

WTF?
Why is everyone bashing Metro so hard?
1. It freaking works
2. You don't have to use it except for Start Menu
3. Start Menu from Win8 is superior to Win7 as you have all the old functionality + better arrangement + better lookups from search by typing.
But there are lots of people who haven't even tried and are bashing it all the time. Are you paid for doing that?

Gee, the typical slow initial adoption of a new interface is surprising? Personally I like it. Faster, rock solid...If you use sleep like I do, it's nearly always on the standard desktop.
I've enabled quick launch so everything I frequently use is right there...I don't get the anger over it.

Been using Win8 for a week now and love it. Way better than Win7.
For those who want the old start menu back install Start8.

I personally don't use it just because of AERO glass, since it hasn't major improvements, i don't see the reason migrating. And i don't hate Windows 8, like some of you blaming MS, feels like it made your life a lot worse ;D

I'm just not fond of Metro. And with so many experts bashing it it kinda puts me off as well.

Well, that's a surprise... 🙄
While I can understand Microsoft pushing for an unified UI across their platforms that level of persistence is only a merit if the end result is defensible to begin with. From my, admittedly personal, opinion that were never the case with the UI formerly known as Metro.
Terrible desktop UI is terrible.

Microsoft won't learn, they'll push this as hard as they can with literally billions in advertising. Then when it miserably fails in the end and it's time for Windows 9 they'll declare that Win 8 was the innovation of the century which pushed the limits of creativity and should be honoured with awards. It doesn't matter how hard it fails, MS will call it success.
I'll wait until Windows 9 thanks. If it's like Win 8 then I'll wait until Win 10... I'll repeat the cycle as many times as necessary until MS drop the bull****. If they don't then I'll just say **** it and switch to Arch Linux.
