My name is James, and I like the "Modern UI" :eek:

There, I said it.

It does what it is intended to do and personally, I think it does it very well. A place where users can run small day to day programs with little else to worry about, they just work. No drawn out installations, configurations etc from the average Joe point of view.

Even as a long time Windows user, I dabble in the UI for some tasks and rather enjoy it.

As a dual screen user, I was dubious however snapping works well and uses the full vertical screen area.

Maybe web 3.0 will invalidate such a UI but for the current time, it works.

No trolling, be constructive.

Care to expand on this? The only way I've found is hovering over the left of the screen to open running apps, although I assume there is an Alt-Tab shortcut too?

Is there another way, as if not, how are they quicker than clicking the icon on your taskbar?

Windows-Tab.

What makes it quicker is that you can click directly on what you want to switch to instead of having to cycle to the end of the list as in Alt-Tab.
