“Microsoft may go the simple route and replace ‘Metro’ with ‘Windows 8,’ my sources are saying.”
Ram U: Oh man, Microsoft needs better person who could name products effectively. Windows 8 is a lousy name indeed to a design language.
yes, I would have gone in the route of fruit names instead of the OS name for a language. They could have named it as Mango, Orange or Narinja, Skyline (because Metro consists beautiful skyline, take Chicago or New York Metro as an example), or more beautiful with smileys instead of a name.
James S: What a shite name. Come on MS.
