Just admit you're incredibly metroYou could always give the Release Preview a try and see if you like it. I'm on it right now, it's ok, I'm hardly ever in 'metro' and switching between the 2 seems like two totally different environments but it's ok I guess...

I'd recommend you to wait it out if you're big on PC gaming, Windows 7 hasn't even settled most of its compatibility issues yet.

I've heard it's pretty darn fast and lightweight, but... it's supposed to be like that, considering it's for tablets. Tablets can't handle aero glass (which is why that's been disabled, apparently it uses a similar thing to Vista/7 so custom themes could always just bring that back), don't have the same upgradable specs as modern desktop computers so they need something lightweight so it doesn't explode, the metro start screen has those huge buttons to be like 7 Phone's, so you know you don't accidentally press the wrong button and tried it's best to be consistent but that didn't work lmao, all that stuff! So unless you have a tablet or maybe a really shit computer, stick with 7 for now and wait until 9 comes! :3 That should be better, maybe...

It's fine dual booting with Windows 8 if you install something like Grub2 onto your MBR AFTER you install Windows 8, but if you were to use the Windows 8 MBR it won't detect any Linux partitions
Thanks, thats pretty helpful for me. I still reckon 8 is pointless for non-tablet computers right now though.

I always wait these things out, Windows 8 will take alot of getting used to and there is no immediate need to update.
