I had this same poop on my phone.
Nothing much, you can get a launcher that looks the same for Android.
I had the developer preview about 6 months ago.

I've been using consumer preview for few days now and I like it so far.
At first, like others, I was against Metro and couldn't stand the lack of conventional start menu but after removing all apps and slightly reconfiguring/ rearranging everything I must say that its awesome!
Metro allows for much better organization and accessibility. While it is slightly recourse hungry I find it to be a perfect replacement for all docks programs which in turn actually gains you some resources (since you don't need to run any docs or such).
In general I'm enjoying Win8/Metro already. (and I love the new boot loader)

According to microsoft, windows 8 requires roughly the same specs as windows 7 except for a bit less hard drive space, and is supposedly quicker on weaker systems than 7

I've read that in the final version the explorer should be modified, I hope they finally add Tabs to the explorer to make it easier to keep order in a mess of open folders when working on multiple files at once

Going to give the metro poop a try tonight.

Does it work well across multiple monitors?
Yes it does. There is, for example, added support for multiple wallpapers (for each display).
Also, I like how the taskbar spans across all screens, with some setting, showing icons for items currently opened on that specific screen :) Very convenient and clean.

PS.
works perfectly fine on win8

never cared much about that tbh. I just find wallpapers that are made for dual screens lol.

I wonder if it would be worth it to purchase a touchscreen monitor when Win8 releases. Hmm...

Personally, I think it would. It's clunky using it with a mouse and keyboard. I still hate how Windows 8 feels like two different operating systems. It's so confusing switching from regular windows to the metro-style.

As that article describes ... Windows 8 is more like an OS for Alien mother ship than my good old Pentium 4. Solid state drive? Photon circuits? I couldn't even afford a normal SATA hard , how about Solid state drive xD And that's not just me , at least 70% of people don't care to buy a brand new PC each time they introduce new technologies.

The Metro UI start menu is pissing me off. But I didn't like Aero couple years back.

On other hand windows server 2012 looks decent in terms of interface
