I can say that hurricanes change course quite often which is why the tracks "best guesses" beyond 3 days. Personally, I am not looking forward to the Metro UI in any shape or form on desktops which is where I do most of my computing. Tablets? Definitely the right direction. Laptops? I can see it going either way depending on use case.

I would just like the option to turn Metro off entirely if I so choose.
