So if you all know...ever since Zune was around back then, we knew the name....Metro or Metro UI. But it didn't become REALLY known until Windows Phone 7's release and the intro of Windows 8.
We are agree..Metro is a GREAT name for a UI
Well....good things dont last forever...sorry folks, NO MORE METRO...or the name. Due to legal trouble with a German company named Metro AG forced Microsoft to change the name of Metro UI. Well what do they call it now?
DRRRUM ROLL PLEAAASE! -drum roll-
......Its....called........ WINDOWS 8 STYLE UI!
-audience boos-
I know right..... YUCK! what a unattractive name for a user interface right? Couldn't Microsoft think of ANOTHER UI name....simple, with ONE word like they have done (Examples: Luna, Athens, Jade, and Aero) I dont know...maybe Microsoft was just RUSHED with the name but still...ugly name compared to "Metro" right? Well thats MY opinion.
Sound off in our comment section belooow!

Windows 10 has been unleashed!
Ladies and Gents the day we've been waiting for is here! (If you aren't an Insider)
Windows 10 is finally out to the masses! This is a best release of Windows in a long time, it features the revival of the Start Menu, and brings a lot of new features that are a welcome sight. Such as Cortana!
The update will start rolling out in waves but most likely its already downloaded on your computer right now if you have Windows 7 or 8/8.1. Have you gotten the update? If so how is Windows 10? What are your favourite features from this release of Windows? In fact how is Microsoft's new browser Edge? In my personal experience it is very smooth and resp
Office 2016 for Mac is out!
This may be a week late, but for you Mac users (like myself), that old, clunky, and to be quite honest, ugly Office 2011 is getting a MUCH needed upgraded. Microsoft, last week, released Office 2016 for Mac to Office 365 subscribers and after testing it, it's amazing. Compared to the last previous version Office 2016 gives it a new look and it runs so much better than the previous version.
What do you guys think about Office 2016 for Mac? Good or Bad?
Windows 10 RTM Build 10240 Released!
July 29th is around the corner which means Microsoft is finishing off Windows 10. Microsoft today released Build 10240 to insiders, a real jump from the previous build 10166. Now there isn't anything new about this build except the fact that this is a RTM build (or possible RTM candidate). According to many sources close to Microsoft, build 10240 is the build that will ship to PC makers to put in new PCs that will come with Windows 10.
So have you updated to 10240? Are you liking Windows 10 so far?
Comment below!
7.29.15
It's official! Microsoft announced this morning the official global launch of Windows 10 will be July 29th! Windows 10 will be available as a free upgrade to those using Windows 7/8/8.1 for the first year, so make sure to upgrade as soon as you can.
Starting yesterday you can reserve your free upgrade to Windows 10!
As for Windows 10's latest build 10130, it seems to be coming together, Microsoft has been working the small details and such and the system seems so much smoother than previous builds. Yes there are still bugs but hopefully it will iron out before the final RTM version.
