I see it's going to be a Windows Store app.

I wonder how this will affect the usability for people like myself, who never see the metro side of windows unless I accidentally move the mouse near the wrong side of the screen, or accidentally hit the Windows key. Any time I see a metro app like the horrendous metro version of Windows Update, I moan that it's there like a false positive, close it and find the normal version that isn't awkward to use.

Widnows 10 does not have fullscreen apps like windows 8 did

Or rather fullscreen view is now optional.

That said, a lot of modern apps are really annoying to use even when windowed.
