The tiles on the Metro interface are too large for a desktop user and there is no way to adjust them. For a standard sized monitor simply having all the MS office buttons and an email button takes up more than a single screen space which then requires scrolling. This is an annoying and time consuming action with a mouse instead of a touch screen. For a power user it almost forces you to do a search. There is a lag between when you start typing in the metro interface until something shows you are typing and options show up. This may be overcome by purchasing a beefy computer but that would increase the cost of a new purchase.
