You know, I was a business minor in college. Don't have a BBA or MBA like the people at Microsoft pushing this. Just a simple social science major.
You should read up on Metro, this wasn't at all pushed by MBAs, it's based on some very old and interesting design concepts that actually have proven to me successful for many purposes over the years.
The disaster talk is simply hype, Windows 8 is well past that. Yes, its controversial, some people are going to no like it simply because of the change and the idea that the desktop and keyboards and mice and tablets and touch screens and pens cannot co-exist. I'm biased in that I think that not only that they can co-exist in an single OS, they absolutely must for Microsoft's sake and indeed Metro might very well be the best thing that's happened to the desktop in many years as interest in the classic desktop stagnates in the eyes of the general consumer that's increasingly moving away from keyboard and mouse only computing devices.
