With tablets and touch devices growing by leaps and bounds, I can't fault Microsoft for tailoring its latest OS to them. I'm really excited about Win8 tablets-can't wait to see them on the market.
For traditional PCs, the desktop is still there, and apps can still be scaled so that multiple apps fit on the screen (assuming the app isn't a solely metro app, of course). I suspect that Microsoft has done their research on this, and found that many people don't run multiple apps on the same screen at the same time. I know most of my users don't. But it's still an option with Win8.

It's a bit of a mess with a keyboard and mouse. Nothing is obvious and the concept of an app taking the full screen is a waste of real estate on large monitors. No Start Menu is a mistake. I think it looks great for tablets and touch devices but it doesn't work for a desktop. It isn't "windows" anymore. It's WINDOW. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
