After having it a while you get used to it, but I still see no meaning for all the tablet- and pad-optimized stuff in the desktop version of the product.
Just as with iPad iOS and Android OS, the up-front "modern" UI is almost purely a media or content consumption interface, not a media or content creation interface.

This needs a tangital comment. People are saying that tablets are killing the concept of the PC. No, what's really happening is that the world is shaking out a difference between content consumers and content creators.
Up until recently, the PC has been the only tool available for both content consumption and content creation. It was as though the only type of motor vehicle available was a pick-up truck, and everyone had to buy a pick-up whether he intended ever to haul a bulk load or not.
But then sedans become available, and we discover that most people never wanted or needed to haul bulk loads--maybe just some luggage now and then. Those people start buying sedans, and perhaps they are in the great majority. But there are still people who do haul bulk loads, and those people continue to be a market for pick-up trucks...and leaves the pick-up designers to design big-iron trucks even better suited for a better-defined market.
So that's where we are headed with computing. Most people never needed the content-creation power of the PC. So now they have the option of purchasing content-consumption devices with only light content-creation ability. Good. So bring on the big iron PCs for those of us who want to do video in the blink of an eye.
