I've been launching programs like that since Vista.
You keep stating that "Windows 8 is not more convoluted". So you find having 2 browsers (IE for the desktop, IE for Metro), two email programs, a blanked out desktop, no folders and hundreds of icons in the Start-screen and full screen apps on a 24+ inch monitor handy features?
I don't. I find two default browsers uneccesary, switching between Metro and Desktop irritating to work with, I find the Start-screen messy, and using full screen or at most 2 apps at once on a large monitor not particularly user friendly, seeing how much white space the new UI uses.
