Microsoft trying to shove the tablet experience on the desktop is going to hurt them big time. Now they kill MSN messenger, all latin america will be very sad, they still use that software down there.

- vyrotek 14y agoI always seem to forget about this feature. I just installed the Skype Win8 App last night and spent the whole time switching screens. I just tried Win + . and it made the experience a lot better. I don't have a Surface (yet) but I bet that feature alone makes it worth it for multi-taskers.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoPSA: you accomplish the same on a Surface (or other Win8/RT tablet) by either a) swiping from the top edge to the left or right (current app) b) drag an app out of the switcher to an edge [These also technically work with a mouse; but far more convenient with touch]
