The point isn't about the number of monitors. And you don't need two different apps that work different. If you are slow, just stick with one. For instance, I like the Windows Store Skype app, I don't like the desktop version. So I use the full screen app for that. I use many windows store apps all the time, they are not terrible. And FYI, if you are doing the kind of work I do, you need 3-4 monitors to get things done. Just because you can't use it, doesn't make it wrong.
And the fact that you think windows store apps (what you call metro which is an old term) are nothing more than a browser tab, shows you have never used them. Or perhaps you are being narrow minded, or just trolling. Either way, Windows Store apps are very useful and great to use.

Let me explain once again. With W8 Modern UI you need 4 big screens to show 8 apps in all (+ 4 desktops). Your screens are big.
Me, with one 14" screen and using the classic desktop can open and keep alive on the same screen as many as 10 or 12.
Differences:
A) you can only handle 2 per page on modern UI. More apps need to be brought back from behind to front
B) You can't position those vertically in any random place of the screen but only resize horizontally.
C) The amount of real estate you are wasting is huge.
D) All my apps are updated and kept in good order. They are not old.
I don't understand why can't you just admit what's obvious. You can't open 50 windows on Modern UI. So you just blathered a little initially and it was ok. Then you started to add to insult to wrong. For a moment, when you showed me those screenshots i even thought i was wrong, didn't make a big issue in asking you. However you sent me a screen with 8 miserable apps open in 4 huge screen (what's the total investment for that real estate? and how are you using it?) when my initial complaint was that modern UI in W8/8.1 wasn't suitable for productivity in multi windows environments.
Now you have changed strategy and insist with comparisons with jets, cars and other stuff. Do you realize the image you are projecting of yourself in the forum is not surely positive and it's not going to improve for sure insulting people.
Of course, should you manage to fit the same amount of apps i put in a screen in a modern UI for a single screen i am ready to publically apologize to you for my lack of knowledge on the OS and its functionalities. I rememeber you mentioning 50 pages but also 10 are ok and don't worry, i won't blame you for putting Netflix in it unlike you did with me for the Store.
Ah, please stop using metaphoric sentences to divert the topic again. All what i asked, since you insisted, is how can you fit so many windows in a modern UI (sorry for repeating myself).
