You could have at least read the article fully before going on a diatribe about Microsoft based on what they name a style guide. Jeesh. That's what they're supposed to call it until the settle on a new name by the end of the week.


Ok, the hyperbole of both articles got me.

> From now on, the new terminology that Microsoft is using is "Windows 8-style UI"… and "New User Interface".

The blog post carefully omitted the final, critical line in the parent article (I skipped the line myself):

> As we get closer to launch and transition from industry dialog to a broad consumer dialog we will use our commercial names.


Sorry, I forgot the crap article got posted instead of the better one.
