==Reception==
Line 20:
The most controversial component of Windows 8, mainly deriving from its confusing nature, and somewhat unappealing design. Many criticize it as being designed for tablet use, of which it can be installed on a Microsoft Surface Pro. Pre-installed applications and installed programs, these can be organized to the users liking.
On the main menu, there are numerous Metro applications, including Internet Explorer [desktop version available], pre-installed games, News [of which has a progressing slideshow of recent news] and Desktop. You can link email accounts from popular services for use within the Email metro app.
