I still think the default Start Screen is ugly as sin. I really wish Microsoft would focus on creating an attractive OoBE. Too many mis matched colors.

Hold on, i know about zoom on the start screen and in some metro apps but what about zoom on the desktop? Does winkey+(+) let me zoom in on where my mouse pointer is like with the magnifying glass?

They might have thought the magnifying glass is more commonly identified with search instead of zooming.

This probably, I forget, but isn't that used for the search charm in the charm bar? A magnifying glass I mean.

That is my main gripe with Windows 8 at the moment; however, I haven't been able to find a Start Screen configuration I'm happy with yet :( I enjoy the light grey theme in the Consumer Preview, but the tiles for the built-in apps come in around six different colours, and no matter what combination of those I try, in terms of placing them on the Start Screen, it just doesn't look right/good. Microsoft must make some improvements, I think, before I'm happy with how the Start Screen looks. Allowing us to select different tile colours might be a start, even if that means the tile is a different colour to the app.

8400 is the public build coming this June, right? If so, I guess it's the last time we'll ever see Aero Glass...
