After a German company called Metro AG confronted Microsoft about calling its Windows 8 interface "Metro," Microsoft decided to drop the name and change it to just plain ol' Windows 8. That lasted for about a day, as now it has come out that Microsoft decided to change the name again to something more dull than "Windows 8": "Modern UI Style." Or something. Microsoft hasn't officially announced a new name. The Verge spotted some listings for upcoming events that referred to Metro as Modern UI. We hope this is just a place holder before it decides on a final name.
