It properly reflects Metro UI...it just needs some more colors to it.

mine as well

It makes me think that it's what they were aiming for, like some sort of "back to basics" or "back to home" version.

Ugly, boring. I'm tired of the 'clean sans serif pale font trendy' look.

However, I do like that W is capitalized.
