>I had to register a LIVE account to login to the OS - what if I don't have an Internet connection?
I believe there's way to create a normal user account as well. Also your live credentials are cached for use when the PC is offline.
>I still don't get why Microsoft had to make it an all-in-one OS for tablets and desktops when they could've packed Metro only for a tablet edition, but whatever..
Because you'd be able to dock the tablet or connect a monitor mouse/keyboard and have the full Windows desktop experience on a x86 tablet. Metro only will limit its power.
That makes sense... I'm not really complaining, but I can already see myself using desktop most of the time and rarely going into Metro on my laptop... that's exactly why I won't be upgrading anytime soon :-)
