Win8 new user interface named "Windows UI"

  
        

October 25th news, only one day away from Microsoft officially released Win8 operating system, you figure out the name of Win8 new user interface? Is New Windows UI? Windows 8-style UI? Modern UI? Or all the rumors are unreliable, it is still called Metro? Well, almost everyone can't figure out the name of the new Windows8 user interface.

According to TechCrunch, from the official guide provided by the Microsoft spokesperson: When you mention the user interface, you should call "new Windows user interface (UI)" or "Windows user interface (UI) ”. When it comes to apps, you should call "Windows apps" or "Windows 8 apps".

Now everyone is clear about the situation? In addition to ARM RT-based Windows RT tablets, existing Windows apps can run on Windows 8 with x86 architecture. A large amount of desktop software is still available in the Windows Store app store.

Microsoft's new user interface naming strategy for Win8 is still mysterious and confusing. Some Microsoft teams are still using the old name (when Skype was released today, it was "Modern design").

The biggest advantage of the Metro name is that the application is focused on the touch interface rather than the traditional desktop mode. Just as Windows RT and Windows 8 confuse and confuse consumers, a series of confusing titles around the name of “Metro” are not good for Microsoft in a critical transition period.
