I don't know how many times I have started VLC player on one screen to start playing a full screen game and have the video stop but the sound continue.
Or
How many times using Youtube while playing a game I have to alt tab out of the game to change the song and then wait as the game loaded back into memory.
The windows desktop can only focus on one app at a time and this sucks.
...
Every single Windows Metro app running maintains focus so;
If I put on Hyper for Youtube and play Civilization 5 for Windows 8, the above problem does not exist, I can move the mouse over to Hyper for youtube while my game continues to play.

Seriously. Give it a rest already. We get it - you like Windows 8. Now please. Stop[^].

Most people don't know it can do that.
|

You can do exactly the same with a Linux distro.

I heard Windows 9 fixes this issue.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

If they put metro abilities into the desktop - that would be amazing, but I fear this ability will be lost when metro apps are placed into the desktop - which goes back to the one focus model, and considering the life cycle management of every app for the desktop I would say that it would be impossible to make happen without making every app in existence to stop being compatible with Windows.

Wouldn't it be easier to just set it up so you didn't have to "change the song" at all? Perhaps you should seek a tool that lets you play more than one song at a time.
And presumably the game you are playing doesn't use sound to any purpose.

It was an example of an issue not an end result.

So...what you are saying is that it's a solution to a non-existent problem?
Yep. Windows 8 is indeed that.

I just didn't want to go into great detail and thought that was an easier example to demonstrate my point.

I thought you were going to blame me. I am, afterall, nothing more than an environment anarchist. My wife claims I'm the leading producer of methane on the North American continent.
