Apps that are turning Windows 8 style

Now that Windows 8 has been released for some time, it seems apps other than Microsoft's are turning to the metro, flat Windows 8 style.

The first (and obvious) set of apps are the ones in Microsoft Office 2013

MS Outlook 2013

MS Lync 2013

MS Word 2013

MS Excel 2013

MS Powerpoint 2013

And we start to see some reaction from the outside community starting with Evernote. Their latest beta release (Evernote 5) uses the metro UI design.

Lastly, although not as famous, a twitter client for Windows desktop, MetroTwit uses the same UI style.

The movement is still very slow, but I believe more and more apps will be forced to start using the Metro style if they want their apps to fit in the new Windows OS. Is this a good thing? I say it's a natural thing and that we'll all come to get used to it (if not like it) and eventually embrace it.

Enjoy.
