Wooo, wait a min, looking at your screenshot, at the taskbar. Does this mean you can set different behavior between the different screens? What I mean is, on the left the pinned icons show text but on the right they're the default it seems. Is that the case? And how did I miss this?

Yeah, the taskbar on the primary monitor can be configured independently to secondary monitors:

With all my new apps (new office and new creative suite), happy :)

And yes the multi monitor options are far better in W8! But wait a sec, its just for tablets right? haha (not aimed at anyone in this thread, just at haters in general) :)

Can't wait to get the updated desktop tile UI we've seen in the surface demo. That should help things out. I also want more customization options though. I think letting you have different types of tile "themes" would be a good idea as well. Instead of just the default look, there could be a few more options.

Where did you get your User icon at? complete random question, sorry.

Do you have pictures or video of it? I am curious about it.

Seeing all the screen shots, I really want to install the preview.

I found one image:

(Look at the bigger app icons on the tiles. Btw Lightroom icon still smaller, so it looks like not all applications will have big icons)

I'd love to see MS port the small tile option we've seen coming in WP8 to Win8 as well, for those who will have lots of things pinned by don't want to have to scroll left and right a lot. Of course some will say "just use zoom" but that's an extra step, unless they give you an option to go to a zoomed out view first and then zoom in after that. I just think there should be a few more options to combat "endless scrolling" which is one thing people brought up with WP7 and now we got the smaller tiles in WP8 and no right side gutter etc.

in RTM Windows 8, you can choose a color taskbar and a white window decoration by changing EnableWindowColorization to 0 in regedit

Wow, I thought they removed that option. I personally want a black taskbar but the only thing that stops me is the black font on the title bar. It's great that we have this option now.

Yeah but doesn't this mean that the windows are now just default white without color. That's what it seems like to me. So unless you are ok with white titlebars for your windows then this is not for you.

With all that white on Explorer and Office (on the Preview, at least), I'll probably (well, hopefully) learn to ignore a few more pixels of white :D
