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.
Yes, that's what I've heard. I was kind of looking forward (if that's the
right expression; maybe "dreading" would be better) to the day when
"everything" has to be done in the "Modern app" style.
