I don't find it awkward on my desktop... What's awkward?
If you elaborate why it's (for you) "horrid to use with the mouse" and why you "think it's going to flop when it comes to the desktop users" in detail people wouldn't accuse you of trolling. Just stating that you don't like something with only a couple general phrases is not a starting point of any discussion.anyway I should have expected this sort of answer around here.
Then why are you here?the gestures like swiping apps away, etc...

horrible to use with a mouse...
I think it is going to flop when it comes to desktop users.
Awesome on a tablet I bet though
djdtox, this is one of those rare times that I actually (somewhat) agree with you.
I found the Consumer Preview sort of awkward with a mouse. It wasn't the gestures like swiping down to close an app (because it's not that different from Windows 7 where you can drag a window to the top to make it full screen, or to the sides to compare documents) that bothered me, but instead the hot corners thing. It especially annoyed me how it worked on multiple monitors. I'd always shoot past a corner and onto the next monitor (though I heard that's been fixed here?).
I guess the removal of the Start Menu also felt weird. When I wanted to shut down my computer, I'd go to the bottom left hand corner to open a Start Menu (that wasn't there) upon which I'd remember that I'd have to actually bring my cursor to the bottom right hand corner to bring up that little menu on the side.
Furthermore, I think I missed the list of recent programs in the Start Menu. I also didn't like the way the "all apps" screen was laid out--It took me longer than I would have liked to find a program (I suppose because the layout was different). I suppose I could get used to it, but I don't want to have to get used to something. It's why I'm not a big fan of Android (so the solution is customize, but I don't like spending so much time customizing), and why I prefer WP7, and to a lesser extent, iOS. Anyway, I suppose the solution is to use the search (like I would often do on Mac) to open a program.
I also found myself using desktop mode a lot because I didn't like how some of the Metro apps worked. I did submit feedback and hopefully this version is better. Hopefully I'll get around to trying it this weekend.
Exactly...
Whatever though, I don't understand how me saying it would be great on a tablet but didn't translate so well to a desktop os turns into such a spazzfest

FTR anything you don't agree with =/= trolling....
You're just uptight and self indulgent.
It is not good with a mouse, it is awkward IMO ( orgot, people aren't entitled to that around here).
I said it would be good on a tablet. Go cry elsewhere
Everything opens full screen. I have a widescreen monitor so lots of wasted space on each side of the window. On the phone this will be fine though.
Can't change the background.
Music is a very limited player, they should have leveraged Media Center.
Basic status information like date & time isn't easy to get at anymore.
Too many dead "live" tiles. Just colored squares that give no info.
