Yeah the flipping back and forth between the "desktop" in the regular windows mode and the "Start Screen" in metro is a clumsy experience. It does seem like you are tabbing between two completely different OSes.
I'm sure that in the end, depending on the application, you will really be able to choose one or the other. I mean I can't see using any of those metro apps on a normal desktop or laptop at all. Unless it was some casual pass by and look thing, almost a kiosk. I'm actually salivating about a hang-on-the-wall low-power all-in-one kiosk computer running the metro UI with all the weather and such apps on it... But then I NEVER want to see the desktop UI without some arcane sequence of mouse gyrations for admin work only. And conversely I have zero interest in any of the metro UI or apps on my desktop. :/
