Thread: What's your favourite Store app

kemical,
some nice choices on your part if I may say so. However, I at least somewhat disappointed in at least how I see the Windows app store. Coming back from using Macs and the Apple store, at least I see the Windows app store as needing some more intensive work on it; to make it more user friendly and easier to get around and for that matter enjoy more as a user. Am I incorrect but, I find no way to search for what is looking for. I know it takes time and work to get things perfect. But, I miss the cleaner look and easier feel of the Mac app store. Hope things will get better in the future.

I don't use the apps at all. I continue to use all the same software I have always used. My system is always to busy to have a monitor hogged up by a full screen app. After all being able to have multiple windows open and sized any way you want them is what Windows has been. Naturally the app thing makes sense on a tablet, just not on a real computer. If they ever make them so they can be sized like any program I might mess with them.

I really like the kindle reader app and some of the games. Also, the Microsoft Reader application is very good

I found a new (well new to me) zombie shooter. It's called Zombie-Nator and even has a world ranking score. Anyway it kills a few minutes of tedium..

@ Lorenkjr1, hey good to see you around.. And yes i think the store apps will improve as time goes on. They already have quite a few to choose from albeit phone apps but now release is under way i'm sure the quality will rise.

Thanks for the welcome back. I am strictly pc these days as I replaced my MacBook Pro with a quad processor Sony laptop with Windows 8 on it. I like Windows 8 so far. Suits me very well. Don't have a touch screen but, that's something I live without. I will go back shortly to the Windows Store, and have another look around. Be well!!!

Well after re examining the content of the Windows store, I do know some apps that I would like to find but, did not. I have Microsoft 2010 but, without Access. And I don't really like using Onenote for a database. Suggestions? Also any suggestions om Wifi controlling software. I do not have a wifi extender for out on my patio, where I enjoy sitting and working with my computer. Lets see bet you know what the last one is? You know I love holiday graphics and icons, any suggestions for sprucing up the lap for the holidays?

I did get Sisoft Sandra. No regrets there. Really gives me a lot of good info. I was also able to pick up Artsoft Companion 4, for use with my laptop Camera. Funny Sony does not include everything. I have no regrets being PC only now days. Thank goodness this fine establishment is still available for quality advice and good fun too. Plus a nice chiller pad for keeping my laptop cool. Thats how I suspect I lost my Macbook Pro, was from high heat.

I like Windows 8, I seriously hope it does well eventually.

Try open source software: Why Apache OpenOffice. It's compatible with microsoft office too..
As for the WiFi stuff, not my strong point i'm afraid. I'd only use Google anyway.

Thanks a lot, as OpenOffice will do just fine for the database part for sure. The more I use Windowws 8 the more I like it. And it's not so memory heavy like Vista was, is it? Ok, I will also add that Windows 8 at least for me, is easier to use and more fun too!
