Is it worthwhile to use Metro UI in a new WPF project?

Question

I'm going to start a new WPF project and I'm considering to implement it by the Metro UI approach.

As this UI isn't yet popular, and also my project will release in early 2012, does it worth to implement Metro UI in my application or not?

What are the alternatives?

Answer 1

The Metro UI is designed with touch-based computing in mind - Think about how your project will be used, is it likely that people using your applications will be using touchscreens?

Also consider who you're aiming your project at: Corporates tend to wait a while before migrating to a new OS, so they're likely to stick with Windows 7 for some time. On the flipside, if your project is aimed at the general public, then it might be "cool" and make for a good marketing feature.
