Just recently i just downloaded and installed Microsoft Windows 8 release preview on my desktop. The new metro UI has included Adobe Flash Player and almost complete different user experience compared to Windows 7. Although the Windows 8 Release Preview is far from finished (with more changes to the desktop user interface still to come before RTM at the end of July), this is an operating system that has matured significantly since the Consumer Preview release in February. Metro is here to stay, but there are numerous improvements to the way you switch apps and open Charms with the mouse and trackpad; significant improvements to the Mail, Calendar, People and Photos apps; the addition of Flash to Metro-style IE; more Metro apps to try out; more attractive live tiles and a better range of colours for personalising the Start screen. You may not find Metro as disturbing as you think, especially when more notebooks support the full set of trackpad gestures.Performance and responsiveness are improved from the already speedy Consumer Preview; rough edges are getting their final polish and the big picture of Windows 8 is coming together. So what does that big picture look like?There are improvements on the desktop as well, including minor interface changes in Explorer and improved multi-monitor support plus privacy and navigation improvements in Internet Explorer.
