No more full screen crap?

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). Nevermind, I just started watching those Windows 8 videos, I can click on desktop once the app is 1/2 screen... ;-) -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !

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. Paul |

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. -- There's a critical security flaw in Internet Explorer, which is terrible news for anyone living in 1995. -- Stephen Colbert |
