Edit: I'd like to add the programs you mentioned in the first post look like they do in W7.

Hell and there are some games that I run in a window (Second Life, World of Tanks, etc.). I would not like to use the metro UI in full screen mainly because I just cannot handle it in a full screen configuration, just like how I cannot handle folders opened in a full screen config. When they start making affordable 2560x1440 touchscreen monitors, then I will think about using metro. But full screen metro is too much for me to handle with just a mouse.

Still requires that I get that program that makes the metro UI the start menu.
Like I said before. Adding the start menu will make me at least find it tolerable.
I want to upgrade to it, of course. Mainly because it will be supporting Haswell right when Haswell gets released. But I do not feel like trying to learn how to install a program to help me, mainly because I am relearning Linux at the moment.
