Metro was rolled out as "this is what you need, get used to it" - even when most computers it was being installed on do not have touchscreens which is probably where the only major advantage of Metro can be utilised.There are also plenty of situations where even with a touchscreen monitor a mouse/touchpad and keyboard makes a better user interface. Indeed there is quite a large market for keyboards to attach to tablets.Why don't some people /ever/ clean their monitors? Takes two seconds! I've had users with their nose almost pressed against the screen because they can't see past the old sneezes and various biohazard blobs.Again a simple task for people who know what they are doing.
