This is an article about Microsoft's "Metro" design language, so named until a couple of weeks ago, when a large Microsoft retail partner (Metro AG) asked Microsoft to rename it.
It has since been renamed "Windows 8-style UI".
I hoped this post meant it had been renamed "M". "M-style" flows off the tongue far easier than "Windows-8-style-UI"..

- nickzoic 14y agoThey should rename it "Malkovich": Malkovich saw what I was working on and showed it to Malkovich Malkovich (Art Director who worked with Malkovich Malkovich), and he said something like "that's Malkovich!"
