First of all a lot of stuff seems both unfinished and buggy. Yes it’s a Beta but some stuff feels more Alpha than Beta. Most of the Metro apps also looks like they where designed for a phone, not for a tablet or desktop PC. There’s not really many apps in the first place and certainly no useful apps.

The Metro mail client for instance has virtually no settings, a fixed layout and you cannot add POP or IMAP account, only Hotmail, Gmail and Exchange ones. WTF? It also seems to update if and when it feels like it and there’s no way to merge incoming mail in a single inbox. Come one, my phone does better than that!

The much advertised SkyDrive app is also pretty much a joke. It has a really simplistic and boring looking interface and you cannot really do much with it. There’s for instance no way, that I’ve found, to create a new folder on SkyDrive. You still have to use the web interface for that. The “SkyDrive” integration is pretty much only a few SkyDrive aware Metro apps. When using the File Explorer in Desktop mode there’s no SkyDrive for instance.

The Metro version of Internet Explorer is also pretty much a joke. It’s not very stable. Ok it’s a Beta so that’s perhaps not a disaster…yet. But, there’s no synchronization of favorites between the Desktop version and the Metro version.
