I don't know what they're thinking with the all-caps menu. There's barely enough horizontal real-estate as it is once you consider a couple of 3rd party menus will find their way in. And all-caps makes it both harder to read, and yet more distracting away from the real-work going on.
The lighter grey with a tinge of blue is an improvement over the beta, but to be honest I prefer the VS2010 look overall. I'm not a fan of metro, being in the unenviable position of owning a Windows Phone 7 - too many 'tiles' look the same - there's not enough contrast between many apps for my liking. I find the 'metro' look nothing more than a "Fisher Price" experiment for kids to be honest, and even after 6 months still yearn for my old iPhone back. Not to mention the meshing of facebook contacts with business contacts has destroyed any semblance of rationality to my contacts list; without the search button the phone would be near on unusable. Surprisingly I'm not so against the Ribbon - it took me a little getting used to it, but found the context sensitivity to be a good thing.
