On a desktop, the Charms UI is somewhat awkward to use. I have the navigation down and all, but it seems odd. Also, the app switcher doesn't work on the Desktop view, I've accidentally switched to an app when I'm in Outlook. Since a majority of the Settings sidebar are already in the lower right hand side of the Task Bar, the search Charm might not be really used in the Desktop nor Devices so much, it would better sense to place them in the Task Bar on systems without touch screens. Then, replace the static Start button in the lower left hand side with the new Start window logo, it would be better for mouse navigation. It just doesn't feel right in the Desktop View with the touch version of pulling up the Charms bar. The Developer Preview did it better.
I'm not sure how to switch between apps though...
Another thing, the sidebars NEED to be smaller on desktop systems, it's odd with it being so large.
