Microsoft's Windows 8 developer preview greeted us with an interface steeped in Redmond's new Metro style - its tile-centric start screen is sleek, fresh, and downright pretty. Imagine our surprise then, when the preview's desktop view punted us straight back to the contemporary "Aero" dressing of Windows 7. It's not an ugly interface by any means, but shiny, translucent window frames are so last generation. Where's the style. In the big M's latest Building Windows 8 preview, of course. The MSDN blog's latest Task Manager update shows the familiar feature in a brand-new Metro suit: flat, clean, and Aero free.
