Among other new tests and improvements, this new version will verify that the app icon shown in the Store is not the default one. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/desktop/hh852363

  Design case study: Website to Metro style app

  Jeff SandersMicrosoft EmployeeMonday, May 21, 2012 11:30 AM

  Designing websites has been a common practice for decades. With Windows 8 Consumer Preview, designers and developers can use the web technologies they are familiar with, including HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets, Level 3 (CSS3), and JavaScript, to build Metro style apps for Windows. Here we explore how to expose the capabilities of a website to make it a great Metro style app for Windows 8 and show ways to provide additional value, personalization, and richer experiences  using features of the Windows 8 platform. 

  Our aim is to help designers and developers reimagine their websites as Metro style apps.
