    Aww, that WMP13 concept looked awesome! I hope the real WMP13 looks something good like that, I also hope the Immersive version does too.

    From the way Tom tends to post in Neowin's comments, I'm hardly surprised.

    I find it odd that the button opens the charms bar... on the opposite side of the screen.

    It doesn't. Start button = Start Screen. To open the charms bar, you know mouse in the lower right corner of the screen instead of the left corner.

    Oh I thought you hovered over the start button and it opened the charms bar. So if it's hover in the lower right, wouldn't that conflict with the show desktop button?

    Next WMP will be v14 because Microsoft is VERY! superstitious, they hate the number 13 (Office 2007 was v12 and 2010 was made v14 skipping v13)

    Nope, in the WDP you had to mouse right in the corner.
    Canouna mentioned about mousing to the bottom right, but for all we know it could change in a future build. I mean, we still have a month or two till we get a beta build.

    Must've missed that when reading his post. I would imagine it would change, considering how busy the bottom right of the screen is in Windows that could get annoying, and there's no indication that doing that would show the menu.
