No, I'm being careful to refrain from saying anything anti-Metro in this forum.

For one thing the waters here are pre-chummed (look at the reaction!), for another this forum needs to help developers cope with Metro. So such discussions here are just as off-point as so many inflammatory issues in software development and will merely get in the way of the mission.

Sorry I rose to the bait, unintentional as it may have been. But it is hard to let some statements go unchallenged.
