PCWorld Reviews Stardock's ModernMix

Published on April 9, 2013 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

PCWorld reviews ModernMix, and gives it a 4/5!

"it reduces the number of times you have to traverse the two halves of Windows 8 (modern and classic), which is well worth the $5. Being able to run SkyDrive, Maps, Camera, and especially Solitaire in a window on the classic desktop is addictive (as well as more efficient) for desktop users. "

Probably timely to 'suggest' that a Desktop OS is not a telephone, and there are actually people 'out there' who need and DO have more than even TWO applications open at one time.

But, as long as the Vanilla 8 GUI is good enough for some bloke and his Android phone then all is well.

Meanwhile....those who actually 'do stuff' with their computers are saved by Stardock's ModernMix....

"Why do we need resizeable windows for these apps anyhow? Ipad and android can not minimize. Even in desktop mode 95% of the time I am in full screen mode anyways. I only minimize to snap two windows side by side. And what do you know? Thats a standard feature of windows 8."

Exactly. As a skinner (term used loosely) I need several programs open at once. It'd be extremely odd any other way, for me.

Oh, and MM rocks, IMO, YMMV.
