Is it possible to work with two apps side by side at the same time?

Question

For example I might be using a social metro app and want to be reading and referring to an article on the web in IE at the same time..

Answer 1

This forum is for developers discussing writing Metro style apps to run on the Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

General consumer questions should go to the Windows 8 Microsoft Answers community. IT Pros discussions should be posted on the TechNet forums under the Windows 8 IT Pro category.

From a developer perspective, take a look at the Guidelines for snapped and fill views.

Answer 2

The question context is UI design of metro style apps. The example is a potential use case scenario. The conclusion is from Guidelines that "The snapped view is always 320 TIPs wide" so this scenario would not be feasible?

Answer 3

Correct. I suggest that if you're just getting started with Metro style app development you go through the Getting Started documentation so you can get a good idea of what Metro style apps are and what they can and cannot do.
