None of the choices shown are for Metro Video. You may need to scroll down somemore.

[contextfree]

That's disappointing ... :(

Any new options on the Start screen? e.g. does Apps support multiselect, and can you do anything with Files search results?

LOL, you think I didn't already scroll down ?

There is no option for Metro player, maybe with avi / mpeg there might be, I haven't tried them yet

[djdanster]

Eugh! The colours in Explorer look horrific!

New "Not Genuine" nag

More Colours for Start Screen, but greyed out for me because not genuine

Metro Video Player can play AVI's as expected

No new patterns?! :(

Why can't I see the pictures +Detection posted (I only see blank space)?

[LightShadow]

Also WTF with Internet Explorer being on two lines ... that just looks bad.

That's only a problem on the Chinese version. Doesn't show up like that in the English version.

Make sure localhostr.com is not blocked by any security software, I've had people using some surf safe apps say the same thing

I don't have any :D

Firefox seems to show the images just fine; Chrome, however, does not.

The pink color scheme makes me wonder if there was some competition to knock Hot Dog Stand off its all time worst theme perch.

Yea but I can imagine the colour scheme when it's fully metro. It will be just as bad if not worse!

New colour scheme for Mail too, not sure if it changes per start screen scheme

So today I went to one of my competitors place of business today to chitchat with him. I was in the area. Lets just say after talking to him my grandma knows as much about Windows 8 than he does. He knows NOTHING!. I don't think he's even seen videos or screenshots of it. He said "I'm kind of weird that way! I don't like to fill my grey matter with stuff I won't have to worry about for a while".

He knows nothing about what it looks like, he knows nothing about the Metro Title interface and was surprised when I told him the start button is going to be gone / hidden. Why exactly is he hearing it from me for the first time? He is never any fun to talk to, because he is never current on anything new.

Maybe he just doesn't care at the moment because it really doesn't impact hime as of yet?

Doesn't it just match the app's theme color? (also used on the app's tile, in the Store and for notifications). I was hoping they'd add a way to customize each app's color, but apparently not.

Yep seems your right, orange tiles have orange theme, blue = blue etc etc

To answer an earlier question, yes you can select multiple app tiles at once

[JOHW]

It actually seems like elements of Watercolor (the theme back in XP) are appearing in the flatter Windows Theme.

There are some new sounds too, not sure if its a full scheme, there are mostly empty folders, but the loose audio files are used in the default sound scheme and sound more like my WP7 - Just zipped up the whole \windows\media folder for anyone who wants them
