The Modern UI
The Windows 8 start screen uses Microsoft's fairly new Modern UI, previously known as Metro UI. Designed for touch the Modern UI is made of small or large tiles, which take you into the app that the tile corresponds to.
The Modern UI focuses mostly on minimalism and organizes everything into neat bars, tiles, etc.
