You bring up a lot of good points... They seriously need to clean up the seams between the two, and there are some options that just shouldn't go...
Using the OS for the Desktop environment works fine, but as soon as you try to use the Metro UI, with how they have it implemented, things get pretty crazy.

But, most importantly, WTF are you talking about with the fish?

I'm not interested unless it includes the Flying Windows and 3D Maze screensavers, and the Hotdog Stand color scheme. Image

On booting, there is a fish logo in the middle of the screen instead of a Windows logo. I guess the Windows logo is out of style.

Lot's of hate wafting around here on Windows. I like it, with a couple exceptions, there are some things I don't care for.
Like the fish. What's with that? Do they seriously feel the need to copy Apple and use animals in their OS?

What is the difference between consumer and developer preview? Anything?

Using the developer preview at the moment, with metro removed of course. Its only ever going to be useful for non desktop devices.

It's a shame the opportunity M$ squandered here. They could've done something like this to the normal desktop:

That looks like GNOME with Windows icons.
