As a Win 8 / .net developer, I would like to have a fullscreen shell app for the Modern UI interface. Now, I couldn't find a shell app in the Windows Store...
My question is - is it even possible to create a shell with full access to the file system, processes etc. in the sandboxed Modern UI environment?
Just fire up the "Ancient" desktop and the Command Prompt and Power Shell are still there.
If you really wanted to I suppose you could create a "Modern" app which invoked old style DOS and PowerShell commands in the background. But the sort of user who would be interested in raw shell commands would go straight to the Old Style desktop anyway.
