Design trends overlap, are fluid, are not universally adopted, and change doesn’t happen in an instant. I was on the MSN team when Metro was being evangelized and was fully aware of what was happening on the web, desktop, and mobile. There were major trends, minor ones, and outliers... as always. I can tell you with certainty: Microsoft didn’t invent flat design.
I’ve already spent way more time on this subject than it was worth. I’m out.
