Microsoft has been making some last minute changes to the Windows 8 desktop UI ahead of a final build of the operating system, expected within two months. The company revealed its move away from Aero Glass last month, but the changes weren't ready for Release Preview. Winunleaked has managed to secure a number of screenshots demonstrating the flattened desktop UI and color picker.

Not better than Aero, but at least they are giving something to the mouse/keyboard users.

I see no transparency. I guess I have to be happy?

they should have given options to either use metro or aero...

Definitely, this would prevent microsoft from getting more bad feedbacks atleast..
Metro looks really ugly for classic desktop users..
