#3Why do the computer and skype windows have so thick title bars?
Pretty much a design staple of Metro.

#5I saw this a few months ago (i cant remember where) and i'm sure there were a whole load more screenshots to go with it.
While i'd love to see this and it is undeniably beautiful, its not really what i'd call a practical solution. This makes me wonder, is it only beautiful because its a concept? It only looks so good because its free from practical restriction, what would it look like if it was made into a real world application?
This also makes me ask, is the only way to radically change UI to come up with a completely new from scratch paradigm, and if so, is this why we have metro?

#6This is very nice. Also a bit retro? Reminds me about a linux GTK theme I was using a long time ago.

#7Really nice, though it begs the question; seeing as you can't meaningfully affect Windows 8's design without joining Microsoft on the relevant team(s), why not apply your design skills to the Linux desktop, either Gnome or KDE (I don't know which is more popular as I'm not really a Linux user). Improving the Linux GUI's presentation is always a good thing in terms of improving end-user adoption.

#8Why doesn't Desktop Mode look like this already?. Everyone else seems to understand that this is the logical look to achieve. Even Git for windows and Zune have this skin already.
edit: github not git, my bad.
