You should really take the time to polish this first. That incorrectly scaled screenshot on the first page was enough for me to dismiss this.

which implies that there are quite a few things left for him to do before he considers the first version complete.
He probably felt that the marketing page was good enough for a 0.5 product. I personally think it is good enough.
Out of curiosity, how does Metro look to color blind people?

In short: Metro looks different because it uses different colors. I guess this shouldn't impact readability or accessibility in most cases due to the use of simple, sharp icons and white text. But I guess the white text could result in problems when the color blind perceive a given color as a light gray, resulting in little contrast.
I've really warmed to the whole metro look when it's done right and I look forward to where this goes. White text/icons on block color squares works beautifully and looks "cool". This could be bigger than Twitter Bootstrap if done right.
1. Take the hover border off and instead add a little CSS3 background transition animation and set the hover background color to something a tad lighter. I think this would be a cool effect.
2. Use Segoe UI or something close instead of the font you're using now, especially on the blocks
3. One of the cool things about the "metro" style is how they effectively use a ton of padding and space around things. Yours is very cramped in parts. Definitely be liberal with the padding and space stuff out.
I think those three things would make a big difference.
