There has been splashing around by Microsoft and it has now
named Windows 8 UI as Modern UI. The Windows 8 and its touch-centric user
interface has not been one constant entity in any one way. The same UI was
initially named Metro. It looks that Microsoft has used the third name for
their UI and now seems happy with Modern UI.
The word Metro has been replaced with Modern UI according to
the documentation of the company. The explanation given by the company suggests
that the word ‘Metro’ was just used as a code. This code was used by the
developers in the developing stage. It was never going to be a word used for
the general public, the company added.
However, there is something more than just the explanation
given by Microsoft. Actually, the name had to be changed due to a naming row.
Microsoft has a partner in Europe called Metro Group. This Windows 8 UI has
been designed for using the mobile phones, touchscreens and tablets.
