Metro style apps built for Windows 8 are beautiful, intuitive, and the focal point of your experience. They’re
immersive, filling your entire screen so there are no distractions. Apps can adapt to a variety of form factors
and screen resolutions, such as thin slates or large monitors, and can work on x86, x64, and ARM platforms.
Apps work together, making it easy to search, share, and send content between them. When you’re
connected to the Internet, your apps come alive with activity and show you the latest content so that you can
stay up to date at a glance.
Windows 8 gives you the important apps you need for your daily life, including a touch browser. And
Windows Store delivers everything you expect for getting apps. You’ll find the apps you want. You can
be confident that they’re very safe because we screen them. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of browsing,
downloading, and buying or trying (if available).
Your apps are ready for you on any Windows 8 PC you use—desktop, laptop, tablet—whether yours, a
friend’s, or a family member’s. With a connected account, you can download your apps and use them
wherever you are.
Your apps come with you
When you sign in with your connected Microsoft account to another PC running Windows 8, your Metro
style apps and settings go with you, so it’s just like you’re using your own PC. You’ll also be signed in to all
of the websites you were signed in to. Your connected account is like a portable, personal PC that appears
on any Windows 8-based PC you’re using. You’re always ready to pick back up where you left off no matter where you are.
Apps can work together
Apps can communicate with each other in Windows 8. So, if you want to send pictures in email, and they’re
in different places like Facebook, Flickr, or on your hard drive, you can easily pick and send the ones you
want. Windows 8 provides a single view.
Always on and always connected
Metro style apps run and stay up to date even when the PC is on standby. When you’re connected to the
Internet, you’ll receive information updates, email, VoIP calls, instant messages, and be able to stream
music or other content in the background. When Windows comes out of standby, your apps don’t need
time to catch up.
Great apps right out of the box
Whether it’s entertainment, getting work done, staying in touch, being informed, or keeping memories, you’ll
have the important apps you need. They look rich and beautiful, bring together all of your online content,
and run in full screen, so nothing comes between you and what you’re doing.
Internet Explorer 10: the web by touch
Metro style Internet Explorer 10 provides a fast and fluid touch-first browsing experience that’s all about
your sites, making them feel increasingly more app-like. With faster performance, leading security protection,
more hardware acceleration, and site-ready HTML5 support, IE10 continues to allow developers
to build a richer and more beautiful web.
