As much as I like the Metro concept, I thought that they nailed the UI with Windows 7 Aero. On top of that Windows 7 users tend to agree that it's the best that MS came up with hands down.

I don't understand why they would take such a risk. The only way this won't be awkward is to look equally good and really boost performance.
