I installed the customer preview, and after a day or so returned back to win7.

My main concern is not the Metro UI, like you said, I can get used to it and can see some advantages in it – especially for small-display machines.

My main issue is that when using Metro-UI you cannot really multi-task (and I mean the user – not the computer). At max. you can open two applications on a screen.

I ususally have an IDE opened, as well as one or more design documents and email open on my screen. And I am a by far not the most demanding – a lot of people I know have multiple documents, web-sites, emails and excel sheets opened in the same time.
Metro UI does not support this, it is designed to work on small screens where you do not have the real estate to run more than two “apps” side by side.
Also the app switching (what used to be ALT-TAB) does not work well when you want to have a mix of desktop and metro-style apps
