This is my understanding too. And I think the Metro look is going to perform particularly poorly when it is isolated to navigational components on a webpage while content follows whatever other visual form.

IMHO the real MS interface isn't very desktop/mouse friendly and the reason it works is because all of those square buttons are the only thing you can activate in the metro screens. If I put one rounded button in the metro interface I'll bet it would get clicked far more often than the other interface elements. It wonder if they tested it vs a more humanistic version?




Interesting, would try to branch out some components with this thought :)
