Sorry, but that's complete non-sense.
1. You don't have to use metro, but it's a nice addition if you want a simple interface and have a touch-based device.
2. It's much faster than Windows 7. Not only does it start up and shut down faster (due to a hibernation-like system), the overall performance is just better. Some performance tests:

3. I've had zero problems with application compatibility. If it doesn't work on Windows 8, it won't work on Windows 7 either. One possible exception is .Net compatibility, but you can easily fix that by installing the right version of .Net.
