Stardock’s ModernMix has officially been released. Version 1.0!

I’ve been using Windows 8 as my main machine since its launch and I still can’t believe Microsoft is forcing PC users to run the new Windows 8 “RT” apps (aka Modern UI or Metro) in their own separate, full-screen environment.  It’s amazing how useful these new apps can be if you can run them in a window on the desktop while you’re doing other things.
