When you install chrome and set it as your default browser there should be a big icon on the Metro screen for it.

There's really not a difference between the desktop version just bigger tabs.

Tablets are gonna eat well though :yes:

Ya but I don't like the fact it's not in the app store, and the metro chrome runs separate from my desktop chrome app which makes no sense neither

Am really feeling the metro effect though, messaging is :ahh:

MS needs apps though

I'm def feeling the email metro app, :win:

They def got to do some tuning to multi monitor support though. shyt tough for me to get the side UI's to pop out. I think they should have stretched the Metro UI across all monitors.

^Haven't run into that problem.

I'm intrigued about the Windows to Go feature. shyt lets you run Windows 8 on the go off a usb like a live-cd. Going to try it on my laptop later. It looks like it'll only be for enterprise editions though.
