That bar is so annoying and ugly, especially when I'm using chrome in windows 8 mode... chaging apps is a odyssey

Wow! Some pint up frustrations in your reply??
I thought this was just a place to share ones opinion and ask questions?? Not to vent some kind if rage! geesh it is just a web blog!!
Get over yourself and you might learn something! I know I lean more by listening than talking myself!!
drew,
Thank you a lot for your response. Yes It is good that Microsoft listened to their feedback and I will admit that sometimes I have started to use that tittle bar. What I really wish that Microsoft would introduce the ability to pin live tiles to the desktop. That would be nice.
In my personal opinion I'm not interesting in options to close apps, Windows provide a lot of ways to perform that action, I'm interested in this thread because I really want to find a way to hide the title bar permanently, because the right flow of metro apps are interrupted by that bar ... I like Windows 8.1 and if I must describe metro UI, I would say it is the new concept that allow us interact comfortable and intuitively with different devices and programs, plus is cool !, I'm not looking return to previous versions, 8.1 is the most complete, but sincerely the title bar annoying me, while I'm using apps with actions at the top of the screen, the title bar is an obstacle, once and again I'm clicking the title bar instead of the app I'm using, why don't make the title bar optional? or increase the time required to show the title bar
Irony, nobody finds your replies helpful or even useful. Please stop being an arrogant and accept the flaw in your system. Nobody's happy of this and you can just reflect it internally. WE ARE the USERS, at the end of the day.
This is a totally irrelevant reply to an annoying issue. Metro apps are not only for tablets. Once you get Win 8s they come as default for desktop users, too.
Please leave it as an option to users.
