Having to make an extra step and click just to go back to the old Explorer interface is going to piss off a lot of people. (Whether it's a minor step or not, it's still an extra step and the point is it's going to further frustrate people who already get frustrated enough with their computers for stupid reasons. )
I can appreciate Microsoft's idea and attempts at being the first desktop level OS built for tablets, but I think that quite frankly the idea either scares people or (again) just outright pisses them off. It also sounds like they're going to try to shift everything to Win8 once it's released, which means you're going to have a lot of people who want to buy a computer running Win7 and not Win8 (just like the Vista and Win7 launches with people clamoring for XP "downgrades"), unless the computer in question is based around being touch-based.
I have a tablet (Kindle Fire) but no plans on getting another, nor do I have any plans to buy anything touch-related for any one of the computers I own.
