No M$ don't want we use it without Metro.
In the Developer Version, We was abble to add a start button with a simple register key change, with the Preview, they make sure we can do it again. Even Windows 8 Server, as the Metro and no start button.
The start menu will not be so bad if we can customize it, like make the tiles smallers, differents colors, etc. And it does not need to take a full page on a 24" monitor .... They have to put back the start icon and link it to the start page, and they have to make this start page in a windows not full screen.

Area 66, that was insightful but you also left out the issues with the DRM. The reason for the push to UEFI BIOS isn't to make it easier to set up the computer although that is a great point. but when Windows 8 launches one of the things installed ether via the installer or by first update is a UEFI code that will lock you into Windows 8 and Microsoft. If you go the Test Drive route after 30day's BIOS will lock down the computer and turn it into a very expensive Paperweight or if for any reason Windows thinks it's Pirated and I've even had that happen with a corrupted Hard Drive it will also Lock Bios down and once again you have a Very Large and Expensive Paperweight. Plus the other down side is once the UEFI Update is installed you can only install Windows 8 or later, no Linux or any other OS possible.
That's the worst part of Windows 8 as I see it at present and also one of the many reasons I refused to get the Crosshair V and purchased the Crosshair IV Formula.

The Metro app for read mail is amazing. If you place it on a second monitor like in my pic , you can read it at the same time you do other work, you don't need to double click as it's big and easy to read
