I know that there will be problems with graphic design and windows, just that I wanted windows for a desktop, so I can do most of the graphic design, and have the software compatibility. I may end up getting a Macbook Pro later, this is just my desktop.
On a side note, the program Start8 puts the "start button" back and it is the same thing as it is in windows 7, I believe it is $5, but they let you have it for 30 days free (there is also free software, I just like Start8). I find it that I hardly use the old start menu anymore, the metro thing really grows on you, and software does not have to be retrieved from the windows store, contrary to popular belief.
PS: if you can not pay for the start8, just get it for 30 day trial, and by the end you most likely will prefer the metro UI anyways.
PSS: it looks like you are unfamiliar with the fact that the metro UI IS just the start menu, and you go to the desktop from there when you click on a program or the desktop button(except ones bought in the windows store).
