Will they unify system settings?
After my first day with the release preview; not as bad as expected but I do see the issues people are having.
Alt-tab works fine if you keep the applications within the legacy desktop environment but you'll be doing gymnastics to flip back and forth between a legacy app and Metro version of IE.
Managing settings seems to be designed by a monkey with sever brain injury. Video resolution affects the entire OS so why do I have to go Metro -> Desktop -> (right-click) Properties -> Resolution to change it? Why are the same complete settings list not accessible by both the Metro PC Settings and a legacy desktop Control Panel?
On the up side, this is the best time for Microsoft to release a stepping stone version. Win7 won't be going anywhere for a long time so win8 can be a misserable failure and they'll simply ride win7 into a win9 release designed with some sanity.
