I use a lot of them but most are for realtime information ( email, news, weather, sports, traffic, stocks ). Looks like a smartphone with a 19 inch screen. I don't play many games. I tried Metro IE10 but to me it's a step backwards. I usually have around 10+ tabs open all of the time within my browser. Every time I go and do something else and come back to IE10 everything has to refresh and it takes a good 15 - 20 seconds to do so. Doesn't happen with Desktop IE10, Firefox and Chrome. I do like the XBOX smart glass app though. The ESPN app is my favorite. I find myself having to look at my phone less and less when I'm at home.
