Metro is a sexually ambigous term. Metro sexual is all I can think!

Call it Granite to work with the Slate. Call it the Fred Flinstone - Barney Rubble would be better than Metro.

Bedrock is much cooler than anything Metro! Just stay away from Gotham for right now.<g>

I thought Metro was a cool name choice for MSFT but the replacement name that was mentioned was something more of what I would have expected from MSFT.
Their marketing people have to be absolutely horrified right now.
