Microsoft has deferred dropping it until RTM release, from what I read. Also, I have both Consumer Preview (CP) and Release Preview (RP) running as Guests in VirtualBox (configured exactly the same way, disk space, ram, &c) and RP is really dog slow now. Not only that, but it threw up some cryptic error message when I tried to select a desktop background when hung the system. After a reboot, I can get into User Accounts but am unable to delete the corrupted User Account. This has gotten demonstrably worse since CP in my opinion. Ugh! btw, I reinstalled it and that hasn't fixed its new sluggishness. -- -- Sailfish - Netscape Champion Mozilla Contributor Member - www.mozilla.org/credits/ Netscape/Mozilla Tips: http://www.ufaq.org/ , http://ilias.ca/ Rare Mozilla Stuff: https://www.projectit.com/(Continue reading)

So I've heard. Apparently they want a desktop interface that's not such a shocking departure from Metro, so the two blend together better.
