- waiwai933 14y agoIE9 and IE10 both support rounded corners, but honestly speaking, I think the design they have would be worse with rounded corners.

- simonrobb 14y agoRounded corners are known to draw attention inward while angular edges "point" outward, which could make rounded corners a better choice for content containers from the usability perspective. An interesting discussion on the topic here: http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/11150/how-do-rounded-corners-affect-usability http://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/11150/how-do-rounded-c... OTOH, I love the feel of Metro and wouldn't change to rounded corners for the world.

- jrockway 14y agoI don't think that's it. That's what the UI on Windows Phone and Surface looks like, so I'm guessing it's intentional. Personally, I am fucking sick of rounded corners, so seeing the right angles here really made me happy. I'm guessing their designers felt the same way.
