Windows 8 - Designing for Metro style and the desk...
I disagree, Microsoft seems to be making a "shell" that is completely separate from the traditional desktop while OS X integrates the two together.

I don't understand what you mean. Microsoft has said you'll still be able to access the file system from Metro. You'll still be able to access hardware devices and system settings too. So how is it any more of a shell than what Apple has done?

Because in Win8, Metro is a completely separate shell that exists independently of the existing Windows shell.
In Lion the new iPad-like interfaces are directly integrated into the existing OS X shell.
