I have tried multiple times this past weekend to alt-tab out in fullscreen mode and it also freezes up the game immediately when cycling alt-tab back to Skulls. One caveat though is I currently have Windows 8.1 Pro Preview installed, so I'll try it on another machine I have which is running Windows 8 Pro and report back later today.
UPDATE: I was able to alt-tab without issue in Windows 8. Must be an issue with Windows 8.1 Preview that will (hopefully) be fixed by Microsoft before release.
It seems to be an issue with all of my Steam apps, not just Skulls Beta, so I posted a question on the Microsoft Answers forum (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1_pr-gaming/why-do-steam-apps-not-respond-when-alt-tab-cycle/fc3d3089-855e-44d9-8009-11649617cbdb). I'll edit again once I find a solution that works.
