>And am I supposed to be impressed with two windows? A whole two? How much extra for three?

Can you have two windows side by side on an iPad? Android?

Didn't think so. You can on a Windows RT tablet. So it's definitely a feature worth mentioning.

It says windows 8 - isn't that a desktop OS? I remember reading about how people were complaining about the new interface of window 8 how it has classic mode and some kind of tablet mode where you can only have one window at a time.

Maybe I'm mixing up their desktop/tablet/phone OS's. Clearly I'm going to have to find out more, but I'm waiting for it to be released.

With Cornerstone on Android tablets, you can have 3 apps on screen simultaneously. One main app and two smaller apps on the side. It's really cool because apps that have a tablet and smartphone mode use the appropriate version depending on the size of the window. I quite often have Google Voice in one small window, YouTube in another small one and my browser in the main window surfing.
