Não creio que a intenção seja perder tempo e recursos na criação de cada vez mais elementos distratores. Mas que o W8 impede atingir o objetivo com rapidez, não há a menor dúvida.

Windows 8 — Disappointing Usability for Both Novice and Power Users

Double Desktop = Cognitive Overhead and Added Memory Load

The Roman god Janus; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; even Batman's arch-foe Two-Face — human culture is fascinated by duality. We can now add Windows 8 to this list. The product shows two faces to the user: a tablet-oriented Start screen and a PC-oriented desktop screen.

Unfortunately, having two environments on a single device is a prescription for usability problems for several reasons:

Users have to learn and remember where to go for which features.
When running web browsers in both device areas, users will only see (and be reminded of) a subset of their open web pages at any given time.
Switching between environments increases the interaction cost of using multiple features.
The two environments work differently, making for an inconsistent user experience.
