Figure 2-21 Windows 8 Start screen scrolled to the right

Windows 8 took advantage of modern widescreen monitors with the sideby-side

apps feature. Select an open application and press WINDOWS LOGO KEY

+ LEFT ARROW and the application will pin to the left half of the monitor. Do

the reverse with another application, and it’ll pin to the right half of the

monitor. With apps like Microsoft Word, where each document opens in a

unique window, side-by-side apps make it easy to compare two documents.

NOTE The Windows Store (Windows 7/8.x) or Microsoft Store (Windows

10) enables you to purchase Windows apps directly from Microsoft. The app

is called Store when you look at the Windows interface, as you can see in

Figure 2-19, among others. Microsoft has updated the Windows Store several

times, tying it together with their Xbox gaming system, for example. Finally,

the Windows Store is the place to get touch-first apps, meaning programs

designed specifically with touchscreen interfaces in mind.
