I could not agree with you more. I have it installed in VMware player just for the sake of it really.\
Tried out the Release Preview today. Unfortunately, I don't find it any more appealing than I did before.
First 30-45 minutes spent trying to figure out why I could not run multiple metro apps on the same screen. Kept reading that I had to use the "snap" feature. Then, found out that snap feature required higher resolution than I was running. Now, that I have higher resolution enabled, I can snap, but I can only run 2 apps, and one gets 2/3 of the screen, and the other 1/3 of the screen and that's that.
Then, spent nearly 15 minutes trying to locate a way to change the actual time, from the metro charms settings bar. I can change the time zone, but not the actual time. Had to get to the time setting from the "real" desktop.
As I am running Windows 8 in a virtual environment, using the corners as hot spots isn't exactly ideal, as my mouse will seamlessly move away from Windows 8 VM and back to Windows 7 host machine. Thus, it's harder for me to discover some of these hidden features than should be necessary.
I find this new interface outrageously non-intuitive. As a power user, I am having to Google everything and watch YouTube videos. And with all of the changes from the various versions of Windows 8 thus far released, the info available is all over the place and so much of it simply isn't correct anymore.
I'm unsure if I could dislike Windows 8 any more than I do.
