I've looked at the websites for both of those. It looks like you get a
Start button, and the ability to run Metro apps in windows instead of
full-screen, but it doesn't appear that it lets you boot to the desktop.
It's an option in the Start8 setup.
I have lots of users here who regularly multi-task: They have a POP
email client, web browser, Word, Excel and, sometimes, a database,
accounting, billing or payroll program all open at the same time. I can
see that ModernMix would make this easier if we have to "upgrade"
software to a Metro-style app in the future. There's no way this could
work if everything has to run full-screen.
ModernMix makes it possible to run Metro apps in any of three ways:
1) Full-screen on the Metro screen, as designed.
2) A full-screen window on the Desktop, with min & max buttons.
3) A half-screen window on the Desktop, resizable.
Once running, you can switch between them as you wish. You can also
create a shortcut on the desktop, so you don't have to go to Modern to
start them.
It works just fine, with one huge exception: there's really very little
that's useful in the 'Modern' apps - they're simplified to fit on phones
and small tablets. They're good for looking at pictures, starting
music, and other kinds of things that kids do.
