How do I do multiple visible windows in Windows 8?
I went to Staples and couldn't see a way to do multiple visible windows with Windows 8. I've seen some stuff indicating that Windows 8 is supposed to be for low power devices: 1. This shouldn't apply to the AC mains powered desktop machines I tried and 2. There is no valid reason why having multiple overlapping visible windows would REQUIRE any more power use than having only one visible window. For that matter: It seems like more than one process was active running anyhow on the AC mains powered desktops that I tried, so having just one visible didn't mean that the desktops were using significantly less power due to only showing one window on screen. Note: I used to write on-the-fly TECO programs more than 100 commands long on 10 CPS teletypes, but I was very happy to get multiple windows in the 1980s so that I didn't have to remember what was going on. (Now I'm lucky if I can remember if the m a p q u e s t directions said "left, right", rather than "right, left". I certainly can't remember a 60 character URL, 18 character random username and 32 character random password that I need to type to find out what doctor appointment the email from my HMO wants to remind me about. Why does Microsoft think I can remember all of this stuff when I am trying to read my email.) Yes, the HMO should be able to meet its security requirements by sending me an encrypted message that I can decrypt by using the one key that I do remember, but getting the HMO to implement that is another issue.) (I also don't see why any of the gazillion etail companies that I deal with feel that I should have to sign on to their websites using my of course unique password to see the status of orders, when they also can and should be sending me self-contained encrypted messages that don't require me to use the web when I want to see the actual information and don't require more from me than the one password that I do know.) |
