    Agreed. I hope they clean this up before we get our hands on it for review when I'm 60. :)

    really? i think this looks great. really clean design, but it also looks like it may be a little harder to navigate with the remote. the great thing about mce is it's simple navigation

    Dont like much of what Microsoft churn out looks wise, they just seem to go for a Apple sorta feel, effects and shinny bits. Bit out of date really, try and do something new tbh, they blatently have good designers there but wont let them show any creativity...

    Classic theme it is then :sigh:

    Dosn't look too bad too me. However it is too low contrast. Everything is the same color. Making all of the text white and throwing in something more interesting like a drop shadow or a highlight for selected items would be a bit nicer I think. Espeically in that album selection, the transparency is an interesting way to show focus however it leaves the unselected items hard to read.

    Not that you'd consider doing anything as naughty as downloading an illegal copy of an operating system, obviously :D

    Nice to see Winbeta's screenshots being passed around, without attribution. ;)
