How do I run Modern (or whatever stupid name you're currently using to describe this epilepsy induing mess of colour and space-wasting boxes) in a Window (you know, those things that Windows takes its name from). I just want to be able to see information
from several programs at once, just like I have always been able to and make comparisons etc I used to just put a window in each quarter of the screen and then I could make comparisons or copy and paste to my heart's content, but now I can't figure out how
to do this. There must be a way. I refuse to believe anybody at Microsoft could be stupid enough to remove this kind of functionality (unless you don't want about 20% of the world's computing based business to be able to work in a functional and practical
manner anymore...and why would you or anybody want that?), so can you please tell me how I can once again look at 4 (or more) windows at once please. If I can't do this then I might as well throw my large expensive screen away and use a smartphone instead
as my screen.

I'm quite nervous, because I've got a really, really bad feeling that somebody is going to tell me that this is now not possible. If it isn't then I can only hope that somebody tries to infect every PC running Windows 8 with a virus designed to fix them.

Fingers crossed.
