Windows Store App vs Windows 8 App

Introduction

 
So, you've been playing around with Windows 8 Metro style app. Ooops .. I didn't mean to call it "Metro Style". Did I meant "Modern UI"? Not really. If you have not read my blog, Metro Style app renamed as Windows Store app.
 
But I think the Windows Store app is still not the final name and I see many speakers, authors, and bloggers are still confused about the naming. Today, I watched one video where a speaker is still calling it a Metro Style app. I was watching another video on Channel 9 where they are referring them "Windows 8 Apps". 
 
I was reading something about Windows Store and there it is being called a Windows Store app.
 
Alright! Let's settle down.
 
First of all, any application is being deployed and distributed on Windows Store, it is a Windows Store app. No matter what.
 
Any application that is being developed on Windows 8 is being called Windows 8 app. 
 
Visual Studio 2012 templates are using the Windows Store app.
 
Microsoft experts in conferences and videos are using the Windows 8 app.
 
So what is it?
 
Updated
 
It is final. It is a Windows Store app.
