Note

Meanwhile, a lot of conventions from the Windows 8 era are gone now. All that business about
swiping in from the sides of the screen? Gone (mostly). Charms bar? Gone. App bar? Gone.

All apps work alike. In Windows 8, there were two kinds of
programs: the traditional Windows programs like Word, Excel, and

Photoshop, and then a new kind designed for touchscreens. These
apps, today called Microsoft Store apps, had no menus. They had
no windows, either—each one filled the entire screen. They were

available exclusively from Microsoft’s online store. They tended to
be simple in design and function. They were, basically, tablet apps.
