Isn't it a bit early to judge? Also, the way it's written "Windows 8 Start Menu caught on camera, shows off high-contrast design" suggests that this isn't the default setting, but the high contrast design for people with sight problems, something Windows has had since Windows 95 (or there abouts).
Besides, the argument "that looks ugly, I won't use it" is void - Windows is highly customisable ;) You go to your ugly, grey Mac designs where the designers of such an OS have clearly sucked the happy and colours out of their UI :P
/typical OS rant
We can only hope they step away from that black-gray looking interface before a later on release :P
I'm sure that won't be it, considering they invest millions and hire specialists to come up with the design. A academically-challenged minor could of come up with that, "erm...a grey box!"
I'm fed up with your crap. They are testing different UI's and may have a number of them in Windows 8, the guy wasn't even showing off that UI in the video and was just there when he was talking about Windows Explorer. Just because theres images and videos of that on the internet doesn't mean it will look like that when it ships next year. At BUILD later on this month, I'm sure we will get a lot more information about Windows 8.
