I see that...what a shame.
So many people use Visual Studio at some level in there jobs, but Microsoft still insists on being different.

Visual Studio 11 Beta in Context (source: Scott Hanselman)
From ASP.NET to Web API and beyond, here's what you'll find in the beta.
"I wanted to not only point you to a bunch of Visual Studio 11 resources, but more generally answer the obvious questions: What's changed, and why should I care?"

One slight problem. It has refused to install on three diffent machines now, so could not judge it if I wanted too. Typical Microsoft rubbish. I am a long term .net dev, and frankly I am just completely fed up with MS and and their whole strategy. Windows 8 - pants, Visual Studio 11 - jeez, what is that UI all about, and isn't time you fixed those memory leak issues instead of giving us yet another UI change to learn. Developing metro in Javascript. Complete and utter nonsense. I think I am gonna chuck it in all in and clean toilets for a living!

Terrence,
I really enjoy these 'Coder Interview' articles. However the questions are a little mudane and a little repetitive. I would suggest that you guys put a little more variety into the weekly interview. I have been very impressed with some of the mathematical insights of John D. Cook and I actually follow his personal blog. I was really excited when I saw the interview and then disappointmented when I read the content. Unfortunately there is nothing in the interview about his math background. It would be great if the interview questions were less generic.
Best Wishes,
-David Delaune

Overcoming the New Visual Studio UI (source: Telerik)
A good Metro implementation focuses on content.
"Personally I love the new UI. Sure, its not perfect, but it is a huge improvement over where Visual Studio has been for the past ten years. But is the new UI really that bad?"

It's not just limited to Visual Studio. We have been talking about this for years. The human factors experts are to blame! HMI's (Human Machine Interface) have been going 'Cool Grey' (as it is often referred) for a while now.
It has even leaked into this forum message from your original post!
