They should just tweak the spelling to Windows Metwo. Then they could market it as Windows Me 2.0.

I know that's a ridiculous, non-HN type of comment, but really it's no more ridiculous than someone confusing a software UI style with a retail store.



Windows ME 2.0

A more brilliant way to kill sales, I have never heard.


Windows Me, Too? Excellent.


MS also has retail stores though.


That's a valid point. I don't think the brick and mortar store would be a factor, but if Microsoft's app store had a Metro app section, then Metro AG would have a legitimate claim to defend their trademark.


Too close to a Pokemon name


If someone confusing a style of software UI with a retail store is unlikely, confusing it with a Pokemon is even more unlikely.
