In case you have no desire to install the Windows 8 preview, I went through the difficulty of clicking the mouse several times and installing it for you! This is obviously an early build, but it gives a general idea of what Win8 looks like.
Looks skinnable
Having voiced my opinion about Metro along with fellow community members in other threads I will say that four of the five above screenshots are okay.
OMG that screenshot is so funny
Nicely done Snowman.
Thanks for the screenies, ID. The desktop just looks like the Rainmeter suite Omnimo by fediaFedia to me.
Please, please, please let us be able to skin that enormous ribbon....
oh, where is the "flash" plug-in for metro (there isn't any add-on, no flash)

Well, thank you for the effort... sure that i will not install Windows 8 on my PC since i have already a similar interface on my old smartphone with touchscreen...
Will remain with my old xp pro x64 until Microsoft make a really useful desktop like these on the video below :
EDIT : have split the post in 2 different post... seem that with the new forum interface, it is not possible to post multiple youtube video in a single post... URL are different but all video windows play only the first video link...
Video from the news... Guile3D ( http://guile3d.com/en/products/ ) used in 120 apartments at Sao polo... open close your curtain, control the light, start your coffee machine, control the door, etc...
It is how need to be a modern OS/desktop for home computer... we don't need something that we have already with our actual generation of smartphone...
Agreed
windows 8 will take another huge step forward i cant wait.Thoumsin the V.A.D. looksvery alike this http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/puzzle/milo/video/6210718/project-natal-milo-e3-stage-demo-virtual-humancombine that and VAD together...+ some more complex AI like the housekeeper and security system from Ironman ^^
I like the taskbar and look of the third shot in the left column. What skin is that, and how did you get it to the more traditional look...?
Look at the second picture who is the first screen at the startup... on the left side, you have a big icon with "Desktop" writen on it... simply click it...
Well where do you think he copied it from?
