I've just switched to Windows Phone as well and the Windows 8 interface FKA Metro makes a lot more sense when you've used Windows Phone.
Ive been using a windows phone for 21 months now, and the only reason I was tempted to get Win8. It just does not offer anything to me so I have refrained from buying it.
It will be the only release of windows since Win3.1 that I have not owned! (Yes, I also had ME <shudders>)
