I don't really think it's bad, I've been using windows 8 for a while now

I understand that working on other projects
right now might damage the ongoing work, but you shouldn't set
a Metro UI version aside just because you don't like it.

Windows has an enormous amount of users, users that either don't
like or are afraid of changing to MacOS or Linux, users that are very likely
migrate to W8, also, W8 for tablets is a much more powerful OS than
iOS or Android, specially when the user is using it for
work (sound like your public, right?), on the other side, the PC
version will be receiving a great amount of users soon enough,
they won't change their mind just because it doesn't feel right for you.

Whichever reason for which you don't like W8 is not enough to forget
about the great amount of users the OS has. Again, take it from me,
I've been using it on desktop and i can't wait to get a tablet with W8
an OS that is not as closed as Apple's and not fragmented as Google's.
Try it out before saying anything about it, the link to the free preview is
in
my original e-mail.

I'm not saying you should start working on it right now, but it IS important
and useful to prepare a version for Windows 8 soon.
