Windows 8 Metro idea is not so bad it’s just need improvements

If Microsoft makes the Start Page floating it will be a totally different experience. By floating I means something detachable, something you can resize, move on another monitor or even in a tablet keyboard. What I mean by a tablet keyboard; it’s a tablet with a touchscreen, but without processor it will be only link to the computer as an input device, so you can use it in your family room as remote for your HTPC, or at the side of your keyboard, or simply replace your keyboard.

For a power user with multi monitors it will change everything; the users will be able to move the start pages where he wants. But the metro apps also as to me capable of runing in a Windows too, the 66%/33% side by side is not sufficient for a PC.

So finally the question is not is Windows 8 is better and worse than Windows

    Windows 8 VM is install on his own SSD.
IMO, they should reinstate the old desktop functions (start menu/button) but keep Metro as optional interactive screensaver.

That way they can keep both without having the schitzophrenic OS behaviour that we have now.
