If you think Windows 8 is simply Windows phone os layered over Windows 7 , think again , yes your first interaction will remind you of a smart phone . But for the first time multi touch and pen input are being used with a full desktop OS , those Apps you are messing with are full programs , not just stuff you spent hours syncing to and from your Mac or PC with a sloooww usb connection .
This video shows me discovering how to open multiple programs and browsers , ok so they call programs Apps now (bow before Jobs) .
Everyone knows you can swipe from the left to move individual apps to the screen , but the cool or wow as they used to term it comes when you hold your gesture , at that point any app or say 5 open IE10 browser windows line up for you to chose from in a small pane on the left , whilst you run Google chrome in the larger pane , swipe forwards and this pane will fill with another app , the app can be re sized , moved across the screen ,and you can do this from the right side of the screen too . So now your IE10 window covers the larger part of the screen whilst your Chrome browser shrinks , both remaining entirely functional ..through the magic of touch ... and pen on the Lenovo X220T . This is far easier to do with touch as you can see than say a laptops track pad ...
And herein lies the real magic :an end to mouse clicking ,picking,swiping glass track pads , and what the cool dudes refer to as a chromeless experience ...
Frankly awesome .. check out the speed , so you can browse in Google Chrome and IE10 at the same time , run apps in small panes ..eg having news feeds run in a small pane whilst educating yourself in a larger pane at the same time , oh and the apps actually function in those smaller panes ,these are not just fancy windows ...check it out
