Windows 8 Why Can't the Windows 8 Start Screen Look Like This?

By Paul Thurrott
In the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, we see a hint of the customization capabilities that Microsoft will be adding to the final release of the product. This includes, among other things, the ability to choose between a limited handful of Start screen themes. And while we know more choices are coming, the more I use Windows 8, the more I want to customize this screen. And I’m worried Microsoft won’t go far enough.
