    On one hand I see them obviously pushing metro forward until it replaces the desktop completely... on the other they continue with this two-UIs to choose from in Windows 9... 10? If so that's madness! Madness I say! It almost seems like they need... windowed metro for desktops! :~

      I predict* they will see the error of their ways and make the tiled screen optional in Windows 9. *I hope!

      The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

        And Microsoft told not to use 'Metro' word for new UI for some Critical reasons. We have to use "Windows 8 UI" or "WP7" UI.

          It's already optional.

          If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
          You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
          Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

            From your message title, I'm glad to see that you've ruled out Microsoft inventing time travel. This topic has been done to death. There will be more and more useless talk around this until Microsoft ceases to have any relevance in the business world whatsoever; or Sinofsky is blind folded, and left only in a pair of boxers and socks in the middle of the Mojave desert, and JSOP hunts him down.
