Hello Stefan,
Sure I use Windows 8 on the desktop.
I am sorry but I think you have had only a short look on windows 8.
From your email I see that you are not aware of the new gestures.
Go to the right corner and you have a zoom out/in of the MetroUI.
Try right click on the MetroUI and you get at the bottom “All apps”.
Best regards,
Otto
Otto, can you share your improvements in metro UI, i try metro.prg and metro2.prg from fwh1202 and see several bugs, like click in background and appl exit, cannot move the tiles and another ones.
thanks
norberto
Norberto,
>click in background and appl exit

ON CLICK oWnd:End()
Best regards,
Otto

That´s not an improvement.Hello Stefan,
do you have Developer or Windows 8 Consumer Preview installed?
Best regards,
Otto
Hi Otto,
I tested the developer preview build 2011. I have also downloaded the consumer preview from 2012, but I had no time to install it till now.
Hi,
I've tested with DP and last weekend with CP, but I've found no significat difference regarding the Metro UI.
The registry hack doesn't function anymore, but you can bring back the start button with Start8 (http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/).
So if you work with the desktop, the feeling is nearly like Windows 7, but if you start a Metro UI app...
So in IMHO Windows 8 might be good for Tablet PC's (we willl see), but for Windows 7 desktop users I still don't see any benefit 
I agree with Otto, Metro Ui is more "natural", intuitive than "normal" gui. i have Windows 8 CS 64 running in an VMware 8 workstation and in an notebook as principal OS, its perfect? NO, mas this is a "beta" or CS, many changes has made in final version. i see yesterday in verge site : microsoft release final version before october 2012, HP, Dell, Asus,lenovo already confirm tablets and computers to new system, and we have smartphones with win 8 too .
appl make to windows 8 (metro) will run with same code in desktop, tablets and smartphones and several cars system with sync tech from microsoft.
see this tip to make windows 8 start in desktop mode allways:

consumer preview makes some concede to traditional windows users.
Have you read this post?
If you work with applications which use the Metro style design you will see that this kind of software is more productive and at the same time relaxing.
Please look at these screens – both have the same information.

Frose,
I use my appl with RDP too, very good.
i guess enterprise / business waiting for windows 8 in tablet or another one OS with admin / user controls, ipad 3 or android dont have security control to use in business, maybe because this, dell , hp and another is waiting for windows 8 in tablets or another , they wainting looking for enterprise / business use of tablets, like : control of several users, backup, security , etc... maybe in windows 8 or ios 6 or android new "another-candy-food".
