Grab the app from the top (using a mouse or finger) and move it to the

Ah so we can grab it, ok, will try this at work (I'll have to start some
"app" as I've since associated all pictures to the Picture Viewer and
not to the app).


Hahaha, this is funny, yes, we can make Apps 1/2 screen by grabbing the
top of the screen and going to the side, but the whole thing REMAINS
FULL-SCREEN: the App moves to 1/2 the screen, but I do NOT see the
desktop on the other 1/2 of the screen, it's just blank (presumably I
can run multiple apps at the same time and see 1 take-up the other 1/2
of the screen). Not what I was looking for.

Windows 10 is supposed to be able to run "Apps" in Windows, I sure hope
that's the default behaviour, otherwise it's totally useless to me...

Best Regards,


When you see the Win10 TP behavior for the "windowed" Metro app,
you're gonna be ****ed :-) I tried with the Win10 music player
and was not impressed. I couldn't make it small enough, without
the window being relatively useless to me.

It's basically giving us a "windowed Metro" thing, to shut us up.
It's not designed to be practical.


I suspect it will be practical on very large monitors, or larger
multi-monitor setups. It's not really going to do much of use for
smaller screens since Modern apps are designed to assume a fixed minimum
screen size.
