wenda, while i'm glad the colored title bars will help make your windows experience better, you are totally preaching to the choir when it comes to wanting to make anything like windows 8 or 8.1. like 94% of all of the rest of windows users, i absolutely hate windows 8.1, no maybe loath would be the better word for it. and the further away from that os that windows ten can get, the better. but to each their own, if it ended up working well for you, then i'm happy for you. but i would fight tooth and nail to keep as little as possible in windows ten from being anything like windows 8.1. lol. however, just to try to be somewhat helpful, i believe even without a touch screen, you can go into tablet mode and make this os work a lot like the win 8.1 system did. or at the very least, there will be some dev's who will make programs to do so after the ga.
There is no difference between app and application. They are synonymous.
There *IS* a difference between an App or Application and a Universal App or Application.
wow, a situation where mystere and i agree 100% on something. app is just short for application, and apple does NOT have the power to change the meaning of a word, although their glazed over eyed followers sure do think they can do anything and it's right. the situation is this, however similar they are, apps or applications are NOT the same thing as programs. programs can be apps, but apps can NOT necessarily be programs. applications are programs which depend on the os or human interactions. while programs have the ability to act without the os or human interaction.
a good example is a word processor, it is an app, and so is the print spooler that allows you to print something. they are driven by the os or human intervention. but the os itself, or your bios, those are programs that act directly with hardware, without the need of an os or human intervention. that is the difference between an app (application) and a program. while they are NOT the same, they do overlap quite a bit.
