what kind of work do you do?

When I am trying to open a File Explorer to look at data out put fuile, run the Visual Studio debugger, run my program AND a Word document containing the specs, a tablet interface that makes those ‘apps’ run full-screen DESTROYS my productivity

especially when in the middle of all that an email comes in and takes over the whole screen

AND, when a 20 mimnute compile is going on and I want to play a little solitaire, AND watch the news AND Freep, it is FULL SCREEN APPS!!!

you can only do one at a time

Have you looked at the win8.1 feature that allows you have up to 8 different programs showing on the screen at one time. Yes, it is somewhat dependent on the size of the screen but I can easily view and switch between 4 on my 20” desktop monitor.

Also, to answer your question I am an executive in a global software development company.
