Windows UI HORRORS! - Is it the "System Tray"? "Systray"? or "notification area"?
For years, I was taught, I saw and I wrote that the area in the lower right corner of the Windows UI was the System Tray or Systray.
I just looked at the Microsoft Manual of Style 4th Ed and it's now called the Notification area.
Where can I file formal complaint? This is a stupid change.
Ugggh.

I think the OP's point was that it's always been known in the past as the "System Tray" or "Systray" Ramin.
He appears to be a little perturbed by the fact that they've now changed it to be referred to as the Notification Area and wants to object to the change. :)

Maybe in normal articles you can see System tray not in Microsoft Official Articles.
Always been Notification Area is Visual Studio AFAIK

One more thing... The "RESTORE" button is now called "RESTORE DOWN".
Like the system tray aka systray, the original term has been part of standard Windows nomenclature and documentation since 1989.
