windows 8 still has the full desktop. you dont have to use metro ui
I've been using the developer preview since its release, and am now running the customer preview.
Don't like the metro ui much as I prefer the classic win style desktop, and there is a way to disable metro.
There's a reg change to disable it, which a google search will find, else there's this app which does it for you.

With this done its a great os, but it seems to be an upgrade of windows 7. It does boot much faster, and tbh I prefer to run this over windows 7.
