Jim My feeling as well. Phone and tablet absolutely. PC - not much use.

Apple to follow MS Win8UI design principles with iOS7? Hi Hans: The whole problem with the Metro UI was that it was installed on the PC. That was not the environment for it. Phone definitely and tablet maybe but not the PC. IMHO one UI for everything is just plain silly. Most users of Windows8, just switch to the old UI and continue working which just makes Metro a waste as far as a PC is concerned.

Apple to follow MS Win8UI design principles with iOS7? I think you are disregarding the fact that Metro has been a failure for Microsoft, because it was too much of a change for users to adapt to. Someone got fired for that, if you recall. Also, the UI/UX of iOS is in the complete control of a designer. The jury is still very much out - even more so than ever. - Hans On 2013-06-11, at 1:05 AM, "Gustav Brock" <gustav at cactus.dk> wrote: > Hi Shamil > > Skeuomorphism sure looks dead.
