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

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

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?

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

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

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

Thanks for that, and for your good screenshots.

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
