[QUOTE="Lotsofjazz, post: 931564, member: 64243"] I do not totally agree with the writer of that article, the Desktop does have very handy functions, which are impossible to find under the 'modern' tile interface. (try to find 'configuration'). "Legacy" apps do show up in the task bar and using Alt-Tab... Some apps do not like touch, like mediaportal, we would like to keep our 42" 1080P fullHD LED TV Panels as clean as possible.. luckily the tiles work with mouse clicks just as good :) By the way, apps you often start up from the desktop, do appear in the 'modern' tile interface, as a square tile with the normal icon inside it, I do start mediaportal from the 'modern' interface now and works fine. None the less, it would be great if Mediaportal develops an App that can be downloaded from the windows App store, and keeps it up to date automatically.. probably without even noticing it is updated... But with all the plugins that attach to MP, I do also see some disadvantages to that. So it is no nonsense, but might be difficult to achieve. [/QUOTE]
