This is a "feature" that makes perfect sense on a 2"x2" screen or even a small tablet. On a wide-screen monitor, not so much. Microsoft just figures the small screen environment is where the money is - I guess.
Well, you'd have to ask Apple the same question. If Microsoft aims for tablet share, tablet multitasking just isn't there. Should it be? At that screen size, probably not. Should everything follow tablet mentality? God no, and that's the problem with Microsoft. Apple didn't cripple MacOS to make it look as "cute" as their iOS. Apparently, Microsoft thinks it's ok.
