I haven't actually used Windows 8 because I've heard it's so terrible. What I don't understand is this:

> In the future, all of Microsoft’s Universal Windows apps will also run in a window.

What does this mean? Are you telling me that every program I run in Windows 8 is full screen? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The OS is called WINDOWS.

Every Metro app is full-screen, every normal Windows app runs in the desktop. It's remarkably annoying to have both paradigms forced on you.
