I'm a linux boi and I never actually used Windows 8, but, visually, Zune / Metro style is probably my favourite UI design trend of the past 25 years
alt text for image in quoted toot: Photos of Zune HD, a mostly-touchscreen music and media player, with case finished in brushed aluminium (or at least similar look) and black (probably plastic). The screen shows what I guess is the main menu of the device, consisting of "music", "videos", "pictures", "radio", "marketplace", "social", and "more" in a column spanning the entire screen, all lowercase, in a sans-serif font, with small icons on the left of each word. A brief news story about the then-upcoming device, with some tech specs, is below.
