Corporate VP for the Microsoft OS group, Joe Belfiore, commented that the 'different environment' for Windows 8 Modern apps became an issue for desktop and PC users. Those who use a mouse and keyboard will have a huge advantage due to their 'familiar UI.'
"To address that, using a new system dubbed Continuum, Windows 10 will automatically adjust itself depending on the type of device, offering a touch environment similar to the Start screen in Windows 8 for tablets and the standard desktop when a keyboard and mouse are present," PCPro reports. But phones using Windows 10 will not have the traditional desktop.
