Any known issues with the recent release of the release preview? I'm using it and seems to be ok.

Honestly, it's just windows 7 with a new skin. I don't expect there to be any issues.

it runs great however it looks antiquated due to the fact that is not a native Metro application s however I'm sure that will arrive if there's enough demand for it but honestly I don't think people will be upgrading in droves I still can't believe that people are actually still using XP and actively choosing it over seven

I don't expect there to be a metro Newsbin in a good long time. I've looked into programming Metro and it seems crippled compared to IOS, Android or old Windows.

Honestly, metro on the desktop is utter crap. I think this is going to go down as one of Microsoft's failures, like Vista.
