I havent' tried the software yet, but probably will download it pretty soon to be used on my old laptop. (Probably on my slightly older MacBook air to see how the experience works on "older" devices; hopefully it works great on that older MB Air).
But overall, I think the key transformative idea that Windows 8 bring is that it transform the metaphor of a computer from a productivity desktop, into an integrated device that integrates the entire people's work and activity into once place. Social, work, live, entertainment, all combined together into one screen, accessible across multiple device.
For me personally, such ideas might work on my desktop, but -- as of now -- might not that interesting yet to be used on my smartphone nor tablet (I got my iPad 2 and my Galaxy Note for those purposes). But for millions of people who were using older PCs and haven't switch to integrated work+social metaphor yet, Windows 8 might be a fascinating "opener" to the world of work+social for everybody.
If I am not mistaken, the legendary Frog design is the brain-power behind the Metro interface. As we know Frog was the award winning design organization that Apple was using in the past (during Apple first Macintosh era) for some of their major industrial design initiative. If indeed Metro is truly designed by Frog, this "Federal Republic Of Germany" Design company (hence "Frog" Design) is indeed still as creative (as imaginative, and as ground breaking) as they ever was.
Truly intriguing concept and ideas. Worth a closer look and try.
