Microsoft officially calling apps "Windows 8 Store apps", and maybe even calling the new UI "Windows 8 Store-Style"

might be called “Windows 8 Store-style”, though not official. In a word: Ugly. Sure, the average consumer will probably just say “the Windows 8 screen” and Windows 8 apps, but for advertising purposes, Metro really was sexy and sleek. Even the name “Modern” at least was to the point and didn’t sound that bad. But “Windows 8 Store-style”? What do you think? Should Microsoft have fought to keep the Metro name or perhaps settled with Modern? Share your thoughts below. [ source ]]]>

seriously!? what the hell is Microsoft thinking?!
I really like the Metro (or what ever the fuck they call it now) and I think it is innovative and fresh but , this naming will hurt the whole damn thing.
