Inside Windows 8: Arun Kishan – Windows App Model

Interesting insight into the multitasking model for Windows RT apps.

The implication is that desktop apps follow the old model – this is borne out by my experience – after prolonged periods of time in a metro app, upon return to the desktop, nothing has to resume or reconnect.

The more I watch these videos, the more I get the sense that Microsoft culture has placed the desktop firmly in the past. For them, “modern” (metro) is the future.
