Having spoken to a lot of developers about developing for Windows Phone 7, the "Metro" design language is something that is still quite mis-understood.
Today, I read this post about Skeuomorphs which I think is very good explanation of what it means to be "Authentically Digital" and provide "Content, Not Chrome" which are 2 of the principles of metro. Check out the article and see if it helps explain things a bit better?
More about "Metro" can be found in the UI Design and Interaction Guide for Windows Phone 7.
Authentically Digital and Skeuomorphism are new to me too. So my research brought me to your blog.I have been trying to update sites to be web 2.0 and now it seems I need to moe in another direction!
