I want to know the answer to the following question:
What different options did the desktop version have?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The user's default browser can distribute a Metro-style web browser in same package as the desktop version, which has access to functionality unavailable to other apps, such as being able to permanently run in the background, use multiple background processes, and use Windows API code instead of WinRT (allowing for code to be re-used with the desktop version, while still taking advantage of features available to Windows Store apps, such as charms).". Is that enough to answer the question?
