Mark, while I agree that not resizing when there are no apps in right side seems to be a degradation, it's not like previous versions of windows would allow you to resize the width of the menu either. So saying "true customization" seems a bit silly since it's a feature we've never had before.
Looey,
I had this problem at first as well. I rebooted several times and finally got it working. I do recall in the "Known Issues" there was something about a problem with the start menu not activating for some users.
I think my problem was related to synced settings from a previous beta. At some point, when I did new installs, some setting was getting synced to each new install that prevented Metro from running at all. Reinstalling didn't help because every time I did, the settings just resynced. Finally I created a new MS Account and was able to install and make it work. Then I found the tutorial on EightForums that lets you delete your 8.x personal settings and did that.
Not sure if your problem is related, since you were probably working fine before this...
