I was hoping that whole metro UI thing was a setting you could turn off. Is that an option or are you forced to use it every time you push the start button?

I believe it is not an option, you are stuck with it. I could be wrong, I haven't looked very hard yet. Atelo is correct there is no start button. I only installed it on a laptop we rarely use because I wanted to check it out, if I didn't have it sitting around I wouldn't have bothered
I've been reading most of the articles that come out on Win8 and they did say you could turn it off before, but the Consumer preview can't. I'm not sure why they did this, maybe to force people to actually use the UI and submit improvements or something. Either way it seems like a dumb move.
Some people are saying you can pin your stuff to the task bar and then it's similar to Win7, but that sounds kinda dumb.
I intend to get it on a VM to play, but I am in no way "excited" about it. I don't work with consumer products or networks often... So it is not nearly as important for my purposes.
