Thread: What's your favourite Store app

This is just the first version of the 'Next at Microsoft' app and there are plans to put in more features in future updates, including support for live tiles and video along with a way to search though articles.

The app allows users to access current and past articles on the blog. It also allows users to read stories while they are offline. The Share charm in Windows 8 can be used to share stories with others via Twitter, Facebook and other outlets.

Description

Next at Microsoft is a home for stories about Microsoft. Think of it as a “director’s cut” of Microsoft - giving more of a behind the scenes look at the people, the work, and the company overall.

The Next at Microsoft blog application is designed to present the Next at Microsoft blog content using the robust features and functionality of Windows 8. Want to know what Microsoft is all about and where the company is headed? Well, now you can from your Windows 8 tablet or PC.

With the launch of Windows 8 and the holiday shopping season now over, we know there are plenty of folks who are, for the first time, getting their hands on the new Start Screen that Windows 8 utilizes. Like many of us, the first thing we typically want to do is to fill all the open real estate with apps from the Windows Store.
With the store having more than 20,000 applications, finding the right apps can be a difficult chore. So, we here at Neowin have picked out 5 apps that we like to call the “Starter Pack” that you should download to make sure that your first impressions of with Windows Store is a good experience.
1. Wikipedia

Wikipedia is not a typical app most folks think about when heading into the Windows Store but the app is well composed and is a great way to find some content for pleasure reading.
With large, beautiful pictures, plenty of feature articles, this app will keep you busy for a long time and like all of the other apps on our list, it’s free.

Neowin.net have an article showing the five must have apps for your new Surface or Windows 8 install. Check it out here:

Here are five free, must-have Windows Applications for your new Surface/Windows 8 machine

The list look very good though some suggestions found on related forum , I dunno the link it might be (appsforwindows8) Quite good information there.

Well if you have any suggestions for apps you like then please post. A little game I've been recently burning an hour or two over is 3D Boat Race:



So far I've played on over a 100 different maps with jumps, bumps and tight sections. Not bad for free and the graphics are pretty cool too especially if you like sunsets..

Weather, Calendar, Pinball, Backgammon, YouTube (Being able to download easily as MP3 music files is fantastic or videos), I've looked but, don't bother w/ many.
