I guess it doesn't really matter in the long run, but can you share a
little, Dave, about some benefits that the new paradigm that Win8 brings
to the interface table?
I'll confess that, due to lack of time, I haven't had any chance to
really investigate Win8 other than 3 minutes poking a laptop at Staples
last night (the wife was ready to go...ready....to go....come
on....let's go....)
Does the Metro (or whatever the new authorized name might be) really
provide something beneficial? (Again, not that it really matters...new
sells and new is exciting and new is a-l-w-a-y-s better! Unless you're
NeXT!)
Thanks for any insights!

As you guys know I'm currently deep into developing Metro style apps and trying
to get VFP into the loop so that the interface to VFP can look slick and up to
date. I have a few updates that I'll be posting to my initial video overview
(hopefully next week) but in the meantime I found a great free software offer
from Syncfusion for their Metro Studio product that contains over Metro 1700
Icons.
In case you don't know, Syncfusion write some great components for visual
studio, hence how I came accross the offer.
All you need to do is register and then the product download/key is emailed to
you ... total cost 0.00 as it is usually $499.

The product allows you to edit the icons (bitmap, size, & shape etc as well as
set transparent background colours etc. I'm quite impresed ... for no cost and it
has saved me a lot of trawling on th'interweb and doing screen dumps of icons that
I want to use.
Enjoy
Dave
