Interesting. So doesn't sound possible to divide the screen such as for an editor/Word on one half and to read a PDF or use a browser on the other half?

Not with Metro apps, on the desktop everything works the same though.

I already dread the number of times I anticipate seeing users with 24"/30" monitors running some Metrofied equivalent of Notepad or Calculator.

In Windows 8, Notepad and Calculator are still desktop apps only.
