Clearly understand the heart of Windows8, the program runs under control

Win8 House yesterday for everyone to explain the innovative design of the Windows 8 start interface, soft media Xiaobian today and everyone further analysis of the innovative Live Tiles. Live Tiles is unique to Windows 8 Metro applications, and Microsoft intended to display desktop applications with icons. By keeping Live Tiles associated with the display icons, it's easy for users to decide which application to launch and how to access additional options for the app.

(Tiles Chinese translation is still in the solicitation stage, everyone knows what it means:))

Microsoft's Marina Dukhon explains that desktop applications cannot have Metro applications (Live) The advantages of Tiles), some desktop programs and Metro programs look the same, but they are actually different; many users confuse them.

Live tiles in the start interface

Win8, there is a gap between the desktop application and the Metro application. For example, if you right click on the Metro app, you can choose to resize, unload or unpin. For the desktop application, after right-clicking, it will be the option settings, the administrator's identity, the location, the lock/unlock on the taskbar, and the lock/unlock on the start menu.

Microsoft Disclosure: Regardless of the use of Llive Tiles in Windows 8 applications, early testers may confuse the nature of the projects they launch, whether or not they use the new Metro platform. However, this confusion is not only for the application option itself, but in fact it is somewhat unclear when the program is started.

When the program covers the taskbar (such as full-screen game), it is the desktop. Is the program still a metro program? When the application is suspended, will it still occupy the CPU? Therefore, Microsoft designed Desktop Tiles to make its display more simple and straightforward. After the application starts, the program will run on the desktop, so it looks more like a desktop application.
