Does microsoft office 2010 need microsoft c++ redistributable?

I thought multitasking means you can have many windows open at the same
time, metro interface doesn't even facilitate closing apps you open.

Windows 8 changed this model on apps section. We are now on real
multitasking environment.

That's funny, Windows has always been multitasking, and more so on the
desktop than on the Metro interface where you cannot have multiple
windows overlapping etc.

Just click on the 'x' - upper right in the open app.

Sure it does. Try Alt-F4, while stuck in the Metro window.

If you do that in the open desktop, the OS will present
shut down symptoms, so the key combo should be
applied when a window has focus.

In Windows 8, the behavior and limitations of the GUI are a function of:

1) Screen real estate. More than 1366 wide screen, is a trigger
point of a different behavior. My screen, at 1280, has different
limits than someone at 1440. "Snap" works at 1440 (side by side).

2) Multiple screens changes the behavior. I don't have any
pictures of three screen Win8 setups, to comment.

3) Windows 8 release (W8, W8.1, W8.1 U1, W8.1 U2) would
all have an impact on behavior. The original W8 being
the most restrictive.

It's pretty hard to have an intelligent discussion
about an actual limit, because of 1,2,3. It's like
guessing how many ducks there are in a "standard
duck pond". The dribbling nature of Win8 development,
will only lead to endless arguments.

You can have more than one Metro window, under the
right conditions. For a hardware and software
config that most people aren't using.

"Perhaps the biggest change in Windows 8.1 is how the
Metro interface handles multiple apps and low-resolution
displays.

Whereas Windows 8 only had one, extremely limited "snap" view,
Windows 8.1 will allow you to resize side-by-side apps to take
up as much of the screen as you like.

On large displays, you can have up to four Metro apps
running side-by-side - and if you have multiple monitors,
Metro apps and the Start screen are no longer locked to
just one monitor.

Whereas Windows 8 required a minimum resolution of 1280×800,
Windows 8.1 will allow 1024×768 displays to employ the new
50/50 side-by-side snap view — a move that should put Microsoft
in good stead for the release of cheap 7- and 8-inch
Windows 8.1 tablets later this year."

Multitasking means doing many tasks at once. Not all tasks have visible
windows.

Rename it and run the program. If nothing bad happens continue to use MS
2010 for awhile to make sure their are no problems.

What do you suggest renaming ?

Microsoft C++ Redistributable are items in Programs and Features (they can be
uninstalled and in some cases repaired, not 'renamed')

Any part he is questoining the need of.


Ed

Are you suggesting to rename MS Office?

I stand ...sit corrected. My off the cuff should have stayed under the
cuff. Thanks for the education!
