How does that clear up anything? Wouldn't it make more sense to not use the Windows product name at all for the RT version? After all - where are the Windows? Even Apple, with their annoying iBranding, is more bold when it comes to introducing new products. Everything about Microsoft's branding schemes scream committee. "Microsoft(TM) Windows(TM) RT(TM) Surface(TM) tablet with all new Metro/strikethrough Modern/strikethrough new style/strikethrough Microsoft style UI.
Do they themselves even know what the design is called now? Even big open source projects are more consistant than this.
- ender7 14y agoMicrosoft has clearly decided that "Windows" is now the new Metro UI. The old stuff is there for backwards-compat and pro/business market reasons, but the future is Metro. Now, you may not like that decision, but I think that's where they're going. Given that, it doesn't make sense to call them two different things since their only differentiating factor is whether they run "old"-style apps.
