Seriously scrolling sideways? First tip that is shown while installing (or right after it) is to SWIPE your screen.. Metro apps hide in a different taskbar than regular apps (so to turn everything off you'll find yourself switching between both interfaces), they added mouse gestures that are painful if you have more monitors - I run dual monitor setup and running with my mouse from left down corner to right up corner stresses my wrists too much..
I can see this OS working good/great on handheld devices, tablets, maybe even laptops. For a desktop I don't really see a reason to use it ATM. Windows 7 is new XP now, stick with it if you don't feel the need to "check new OS just because it's new". It's nothing like changing from Vista to 7, feels more like opposite.
