As you may recall, when we last left the Windows 8 naming saga, there was much prognosticating and reading of those chicken gizzards in a cast-iron pan out in the back shed with herbs over a fire…oh…wait…the announcement is in? All right! Out with it man!

  • Microsoft's Massive Metro Mistake - PCMag.com
  • Microsoft: Don't call it Metro. Call it 'Windows 8' - ZDNet
  • Microsoft’s new rule: no “Metro”-named apps (updated: clause removed) – istartedsomething

Well…that was a bit of a letdown.

-10 for originality Redmond. Really?

Moving on…now…where did I put that ground cornmeal and hushpuppy mix? That divination work out back was making me hungry…

Here is the latest collection of Windows 8 linkage for review, education, and general future reference if the Valca clan ever decided to roll this way.

Still not convinced yet. I’m betting Windows 7 is the new Windows XP.
