Unfortunately, still no where near as good-looking as the Win 8 concept posted on The Verge. http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/24/2822891/windows-desktop-ui-concept http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/24/2822891/windows-desktop-ui... IMO, it's Metro done right. Microsoft's version of Metro seems to be blindly designed according to a spec, instead of with a natural and intuitive understanding of visual design. For example, when I see a screenshot of Metro, text just seem to be all over the place with no rhyme or reason. Like most modern designs, I'm sure they're using a grid, but I'm just not sure it's the correct grid. Also, solid colors are harsh, which is why designers only use it to evoke a very specific reaction. That's fine for a "Swiss" typographic poster, but as a foundation for a user interface, it's simply wrong.
