Apparently the Release Preview, scheduled for early June is a much more feature complete version of the OS. I'd probably wait for that before I made a decision based on an early beta release.

Even though Microsoft is pushing for the adoption of the Metro interface it is highly likely there will be some way to revert to a more familiar interface for those who want it.
