Microsoft used to be: Win8 was trying to follow the modern path, and there was a whole series of Modern internal codes.

IT House, June 3rd. Windows 8 Anecdotal development code.

It is worth mentioning that Microsoft ' s support for Windows 8, which coincides with the fifteenth anniversary of its launch on June 1, 2011 (IT House Note: First on June 1, 2011), was completely suspended on January 12, 2016.

Raymond Chen recalled that during Windows 8, the team needed to name "the thing that was being developed."

"We are not a particularly creative group of people in the code name, so we call it "modern experience" to distinguish it from "classic experience" that already exists in Windows 7. Subsequently, in accordance with Microsoft's internal language habits (internally known as Microspeak), the staff began to “crazyly abbreviate” and gradually evolved into a series of forms with “Mo” fixed prefixes.

For example, the new interface for Windows 8 is known as “modern shell”, or “MoSh”. In contrast, the traditional desktop environment is known as “classic shell” and some developers further abbreviated it as “ClaSh”, although this term did not last long.

As development moves forward, the Microsoft team generally uses the addition of a “Mo” prefix to the name when it does not come up with a new name. For example, the early search version of the new start menu is called "Go. Page, because its main use is for the user to perform a search or “go to a function”. In Windows 8, the component is named "MoGo".

Under the same system, the area on the screen used for the application of the screen is called “MoBar” and the full-screen application area is called “MoBody”. The settings module in the control panel is named " MoSet " . The list control was originally named "modern control control control" and was shortened to "MoCo".

This naming rule extends even to the application level. For example, the new browser was initially referred to as “MoB” and then became “MoBro”; the photo management application was called “MoPho”. This series of names forms a highly uniform language style within Microsoft.

Raymond Chan concluded by saying, "I wish someone had come forward and said, "That's enough. This Mo is out of control. * I don't know.

However, Windows 8's “modern experience” design has also become one of the most controversial interfaces of the system, including, for example, the initial menu design that was subsequently discussed.
