In early August, rumors started to hit the Internet that Microsoft was no longer
going to refer to the design style in Windows 8 as "Metro." For its part, Microsoft has never really commented officially, saying only, and in a very vague way, that "Metro"
was just an early code name for the design style and that the company would use something else when Windows 8 launched.
While some reports have had Microsoft refer to the Metro style as "Modern" in some documents, some other sources seemed to indicate that the company
was using "Microsoft Design Style". It now appears that is indeed the case. The new information comes
from the BUILD 2012 web site, specifically from the schedule of events for the developer conference that went live today.
