Remember that it is Metro, and not the desktop, that is the underlying platform, or OS, in this release. As such, the desktop is conceptually considered just another app. Source Metro moves horizontally and you can move the tiles around by holding down on a tile until you see a check-mark and then moving it into place elsewhere on the screen. The tiles also can be configured to continuously display live updates. It takes a while to get used to the tiles but it’s an original,  beautiful and glossy representation of Windows applications.]]>
