For tablet users, the new Metro interface is superb: we’d go as far as to say it’s the best tablet interface we’ve seen yet. It’s slick, it’s customisable and it contains far more information than the home screen of an iPad or an Android tablet.

For desktop PC or laptop users, however, we’re struggling to see the appeal. The entire interface is so geared towards touch, that using a mouse or cursor keys to navigate around the Start screen just feels awkward. We suspect Windows 7 will remain the operating system of choice for conventional PC users.
