Best practice for translating context menu options to touch devices? Copy comes up after a tap and hold, multi-select is enabled after you click the 'external actions' button in the upper right (shown in Figure 3, open in Figure 4). |

Table of Data in Windows 8 Store App FWIW we've implemented almost this exact layout (including grouping data by time periods) before using the method that @BenjaminMalley describes in his 1st example. It has tested very well. |

Visual differentiation between in-site links to outbound links the arrow you've mentioned is what I see used most commonly in situations like this. |

Do people really want to look at multiple windows at once? @Izkata A valid, but blanket result. Detail to that end would be appreciated since he makes it sound like multitasking on Windows 8 isn't possible. |

Do people really want to look at multiple windows at once? I think Nielsen is a bit overzealous to be honest. He does mention snap view, but none of his test users could get it to work? Really? This seems to be then leading the assumption here on this question and answers that since no one could get it to work, that multitasking is dead on Win 8 which is not the case. More difficult? Arguably yes. |

Inputting percentages - in decimal or whole number form? Good thoughts for sure, however I'm looking more for existing guidelines and research if at all possible. If there's none to be found, then it looks like we've got some of a start here :). |

Is there any research on the color schemes which work with different genders The problem I've found whenever trying to research aspects of color psychology is dredging up the actual research on the interwebs. Whenever you think you've found something, there isn't a source credited or any credible reference to be found. With that said, here's all I could gather. At the very least it's an interesting read about Pink vs. Blue: brainpickings.org/index.php/2009/12/11/pink-and-blue-project |

How to tell the user to click to edit data +1 good point. Just note that hover alone will not solve all use cases as those using the website from a touch enabled device have no "hover". This may not be an issue for @ALS though depending on what his target audience is. |

UX design document for Web platform Grid control Are you referring to guidelines for any web-based data grid? Is there something you're looking for in particular? |

Is it good UX that in Windows 7 & 8 the “windows” of the same application are automatically grouped into one button? @lesderid While I did miss that, I definitely still think it deserves mentioning :) |

Is it good UX that in Windows 7 & 8 the “windows” of the same application are automatically grouped into one button? There's another "workaround" which doesn't combine the buttons and also doesn't hide the window labels. You just need to go to Taskbar properties in Windows 7+, find the "Taskbar buttons" drop down and select "Never combine". |

Is spacing between touch targets an unnecessary recommendation by Microsoft? @KitGrose Thanks for the excellent point. I've updated the answer to include your suggestion. |

Loading Times / Breaking points I think that's what chester was referring to in his question when he mentioned there is a general rule of thumb for waiting for content. This is the only applicable rule I've been able to find though. |

Drop down values: Percent complete. Not sure which format is best @user15921 So the items themselves cannot have any value like 1.25% complete, correct? But the overall completion of a checklist is a calculated value so it could end up being something like 35.6%, correct? |

Is only having a single unmasked password field (no confirm) on a registration page a bad idea? @JonW Yeah that's not what I got out of the original question. As you've updated it, it's not a dupe anymore for sure. |

Drop down values: Percent complete. Not sure which format is best Is the user able to enter any arbitrary value for a percentage of completion on a checklist item? Or is it a set of values as well? |

Drawing users' attention to unrecoverable actions? I was just about to post this. I've done this a bunch of times. When combined with the additonal styling and colors mentioned by @MattLavoie in his answer, and disabling the OK button until the checkbox is checked, it works really well. |

Level selection on dropdown @iboothcreate is there a reason they need to be vertically listed? |
