Windows 8 will be the first iteration of Windows that includes, by standard, more “immersive” applications–otherwise known as tablet apps or “Metro apps”. There are a few differences between these applications; here’s how Metro apps differ from classic applications/programs:
- Removed controls (i.e. minimize, maximize/restore, and exit buttons; drop down tool menus i.e. File, Edit, Tools etc.; no scrollbars for the most part)
- Optimized for touch screen rather than keyboard and mouse
- Metro apps are not designed to be closed; they are instead moved to the background for quick launching
- Metro apps run full-screen (although you can put two side by side in a 33/67 ratio)
The tablet apps are accessed through the Start Screen. Here’s the start screen if you’re unfamiliar with it:

 PRODUCT: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5 PRO VERSION REVIEWED: 5.1.1.0 PROS: Lots of tools to help you tweak your PC and get it running faster. License is good for 3 PCs. CONS: Pricey for a PC repair tool unless you’re using it on two or three of your computers. VERDICT: I don’t use many automated third-party tools to maintain my PC so I always look down a little on one-stop PC tuning solutions; however, I’d say this product is up there with TuneUp and is useful for system maintenance. PRICE: $49.95. DOWNLOAD: Get BoostSpeed 5 SE (Special Edition) Free here (Updated Oct 27, 2011) PURCHASE: Auslogics BoostSpeed 5 PRO ($49.95 USD aff)
