Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps

Posted by Unknown on from the it-looks-pretty-but-does-it-work dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft has demoed a working prototype of Microsoft Dynamics GP (an ERP package) running on Windows 8, with a full Metro UI. This is the first example of an enterprise app for the Windows 8 metro 'wall.' The one hour keynote is available online behind a short registration form ... (demos start around 40 minutes in). Screenshots available at source."

    Seeing how the target demographic of that package is mostly MBAs, I think it works out pretty well.

    If enough companies ignore it and continue putting out normal applications instead, Microsoft will have to deal with that. Metro isn't the sun, it's not inevitable if the market outright rejects it.
