In the previews of Windows 8 everyone was talking about Metro and since a few weeks ago it's called Modern UI.

Why the change and should I stop using the term Metro?

Modern UI Style is the correct term for Windows 8 and Windows Phone since August 2012.

The german Metro AG had threatened legal action against Microsoft for infringing on the "Metro" trademark. So Microsoft renamed Metro to Modern UI Style.

So maybe we should stop talking about Metro; but still it would have been better.
