Well done Microsoft: inspiring not one, but two major competitors. Metro aka Modern aka Material rocks!

I preferred the iOS1-6 Design and the Win95-Win7 Design. Though Material Design as in Android 5 is very nice. One cannot compare it to Metro of Win8 with its distasteful colors.

Fortunately, people really like Material design. Metro was rejected and ridiculed by the public.
