>Correct. You can have two windows side-by-side in Modern UI, but not overlapping. One roughly 1/3 the screen, the other uses the remaining space. http://cdn.ilovefreesoftware.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Run-Multiple-Apps-Simultaneously-In-Windows-8.jpg

>I disagree with the last sentence of the article. I think what you'll see is multi-monitor support and tiling of windows, but not overlapping. I also doubt you'll see the Start menu come back.

Ok now I have another stupid question - doesn't windows 8 support multi monitors already?
As for the start button - I guess what MS wants us to do is this: http://www.howtogeek.com/107662/how-to-live-without-the-start-button-in-windows-8/

I think at the onset people will want the start button - but as time goes by it will be missed less and less.

>>The last sentence of the article says this.... "...That future version will probably add back the Start button and give users a few more status bars and menus. Perhaps Microsoft will even allow applications to run in overlapping windows....."

>>I haven't had time to mess with windows 8 for a few months so I've kinda forgot a few things...So about this overlapping windows - I take it that unless you're in desktop mode no overlapping windows?
