Next is the average guy with their Window Server 2012 Essentials Beta First Look video:

In this 83 minute video the guys do a complete rundown of the Server Dashboard, Server Settings as well as a deeper dive into the Server Domain issues as well as some discussion around Add-ins, Remote Web Access, Media Server, Anywhere Access and a live back up of a Windows 7 Home Premium PC.

Finally The Home Server Show have published over 20 screen shots of what the Metro Tiles look like, and the tool bar and settings screen from the Dashboard.
