Microsoft: It was never ‘Metro,’ it was always ‘Modern UI'  

Modernart
An example of the ‘Modern UI’ from 1920.

How stupid does Microsoft really think everyone is? People out there might think that the naming convention doesn’t matter, but it does. It causes unnecessary confusion changing it around and making all these outrageous claims so close to going to market. Then we end up with great titles that have been run through ‘find and replace’ like this gem:

“Building a Windows 8 Modern UI-Style UI”

Maybe it’s time to fire all of Microsoft’s PR people. Lying to developers (and making them feel like you think they are stupid) isn’t the greatest way to motivate them to build great applications.
