CNET News - Continuum helps Windows 10 play nice with touch and peripherals

2015-01-21
the other thing that we really talked about in September that's very important to Windows 10 is the continuum feature and continuum is about enabling a two in one device like this which i've been using like a laptop to transform elegantly into sort of a tablet form factor so let me restore some windows here you'll see I've got a bunch of windows open in various positions on the screen I can move those around use my mouse and keyboard but when I remove the mouse and keyboard you'll see we get a little pop up here do you want to enter tablet mode I'll choose that and now my windows are full screen and I can use this in a very natural way like a tablet I can left swipe in to get task switching and then switch between full screen apps if I touch the start button there you'll see it's now automatically the full screen start menu which I can use touch gestures to navigate around and then when I'm done using it like a tablet I snap the keyboard back in I get a prompt I can exit tablet mode and now I'm right back to where I was able to use it like a PC with Windows that are restored the Start menu back in its small size and the whole point is a device like this elegantly transforms from one mode to another
