Summary: Many new desktops, like Windows 8’s Metro, default a single window that takes up the whole screen.
The latest developer build of Google’s Chrome OS goes back to the multiple windows on the display model.
I have
little love for the new generation of desktop interfaces, such as
Windows 8 Metro.
They use a smartphone/tablet like metaphor in which each application takes up the entire screen. So, why did I buy all these 20-inch and larger displays?
Google, in the latest developer release of its Linux and cloud-based Chrome OS, has reversed this trend.
This
developer Chrome OS update adds a taskbar and support for multiple windows to its light-weight, desktop operating system.
