Instead of using the separate desktop view, apps are maximized and take up the entire screen. This was true even for apps where it wasn't necessary-like the calculator app. Microsoft wanted to go after the mobile market, so with the introduction of the Start Screen came full-screen apps designed for tablets that you couldn't turn off.
