Reason to not disable Metro
It seems to me that too many of you are overlooking the fact that a touch interface is approaching ubiquity in the computer market. Not only do our cell phones now have touch, our tablets have touch, but now even many of our desktops have touch. Just go to any Best Buy or equivalent store and you'll find that many, if not most PCs there have touch, including the desktops. The problem is, Windows 7 does not know how to do touch properly.
Here's the thing: Microsoft has been trying to promote touch for over a decade now and because the developers--you guys, for instance--have been so focused on sticking to the old point & click world, Windows touch has gone nowhere; allowing Apple to make a huge leap ahead with its iOS and guide people more naturally into a touch interface for the desktop. The developers, not Microsoft, are to blame for Microsoft's failure to innovate when it wouldn't have been a 'Me too' circumstance. Now, because of the developers' procrastination, Microsoft is practically having to force it down our throats and even now you're trying to stop the unstoppable.
Embrace the change. Develop the software to use touch properly. Show Microsoft what touch should really look like. Because honestly, I hate their current look of Metro.
