There's this real hidden hack of sorts that enabled a metro version of the Aero interface and I just transitioned to it literally right now, and my thoughts are iffy. I think it's not the best way to make something metro designed. The Taskbar looks more like an aero version of the Classic grey Taskbar in the Classic theme that is in Windows 7. But I do kind of like the window control buttons, they turned more into icons, which I wanted to see. But it still looks WAY retro, I'd imagine a smoother icon for each window control.
Open icons in the Taskbar feel metroish and nice. It's a definite change to metro. I don't know, it doesn't feel like it's new and modern, it feels slightly retro. But thankfully, it's a Developer Preview, we'll see what the Desktop will look like later....
Here is what I speaketh off.
