I get why they had to leave desktop in there; they couldn't go single page full screen for all apps, then it's not even a computer it's a tablet.

It just feels like there was a better way to get both without the disjointedness.

But I haven't played with it a whole lot, it's just getting a new box provisioned is a serious amount of work for me so not sure I want to invest that time in trying to migrate to Windows 8 as a primary OS yet.
Oh I think I know what you mean then. There are definitely some aspects that are really confusing - Windows Update being a great example. Am I supposed to use the Metro version? and if so, why is the legacy Control Panel version there?

A lot of this will be fixed in Windows 9
