Microsoft is going to update its built-in Windows 8 apps in the coming weeks, ahead of its official debut on October 26th.

"We've been busy since August adding new features and improving the apps that come with Windows and will be updating these apps before general availability," Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky wrote to the first new post to the Building Windows 8 Blog in a month. "We'll introduce new features, improve performance, and increase reliability."

If you use a touch screen, then Metro is more productive then traditional Windows 7 desktop. If you use mouse / keyboard, you can switch to classic desktop anytime.
