New Windows 8 RTM build 8518 screenshots have leaked that reveal some last-minute changes and additions made by the Windows team.

Microsoft has removed the option to independently color the taskbar and windows, meaning you are now stuck with the same color for both. Also, Internet Explorer 10 now interacts with the color that you choose, and new tabs and buttons have been spotted.

New branding has also been spotted in Internet Explorer 10, sporting a style close to Microsoft's Metro guidelines.

Also shown are the new themes, wallpapers and lock screen backgrounds that will presumably be available once Windows 8 finally ships.

Finally, the bootscreen that will be present in Windows 8, although you shouldn't be seeing too much of it as Windows 8 can boot remarkably quickly.

I like the flat UI too. It isn't as 'pretty' as Aero, but it's simpler and thus more professional. IE10 picking up the colors is a nice touch. Everything looks excellent...except for that bootscreen. Seriously? I hope that isn't the final version of the bootscreen. It's ugly.

Metro doesn't look as bad on the touch screen as it is looking right now in these screenshots. :D

It does not deserve the name Windows for sure. Maybe Screens, but not Windows
