A new breed of Windows could have a slightly more contemporary logo.

The supposed upcoming logo also matches up well with the square and rectangle design language of Metro.

First they dump the START button. Now they dump their logo.
Why call it windows anymore? Just call it "Bill's slowly dying Money Printing OS"
UNconfirmed. Is this a slow news day Tom's?
it's called a trademark smartass. not a patent

Nah, the rectangles don't have "rounded corners"
the new design looks like it belongs on a replacement windows or a construction company...
and they paid MONEY for the new design?
