I hope microsoft brings out something similar to iTunes with iTunes U and lectures as well as podcasts and videos and everything.

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?

It should... The magnifying glass i was mentioning was this ...

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

Oh, ok, I was thinking about something else then.

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.

i have two grips with Start screen

1- small logo for desktop program, they look ugly

2- can't drag multiple item to new group

Then i can die happy with Windows 8

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