Why is it titled “Top 20 Windows 8 Apps” when there are actually 25 apps listed?
Proofread, much?

There are a lot missing (Flixer, Weather, CNN, Metrotube, etc) but it did introduce me to the Wikipedia app that I didn’t know existed.

Thanks for sharing. Personally, as a movie fan, I will introduce my enolsoft video converter for Windows 8, which helps me a lot on video converting between various video formats.

Hardly any of the main ones such as News Rep and Vimeo seem to be available in the UK RT store.

That’s not functionally different from having your chat in one giant full-screen unalterable window – what is this, 1985 (Windows 1.0)?

The popularity of Windows 8 comes from the factor of app building techniques.
By the way, great compiled list of all Windows 8 apps. Thanks for the information.

How much were you paid to write the first sentence?

Every time I pressed a picture for the apps I got a popup asking me to join a subscription list.
It was interesting to see and read you list, but there are other good sites on the internet with equally good articles without that annoying popup… I will most likely read on those sites instead of this site.
Perhaps another google search in the future will take me to this site and hopefully I will forgot about this and hopefully I can read the actual article without frustration, and by doing so I might be more interested in this site.
Just my 2c.

Dropbox, REALLY???? Everyone Person I know uses the SkyDrive App. More Features and better integration then Dropbox.
Ok, now seriousness….Over all the years I have read Tech blog, This is probably the best list I have seen. I have 16 of these on my machine….. NO ANGRY BIRDS THOUGH…. NEVER….

I use most of them except Drop box. I’m using skydrive instead. Lemme install this and feel the change.

Are some of these region-locked for some bizarre reason? I’m in Australia and I can’t find quite a few of them in the Windows Store, including Slacker Radio and LivingSocial. Clicking on their links from apps.microsoft.com just redirects to the main Store page.

Is there an app that I can use on Windows 8 which is a calendar for firefighters who use the red (A), blue (B), green (C) shift schedule. This would be terrific. Most departments use the same shift calendar so it would be used nationwide.

Best cloud app is Rainbow Drive. It integrates both Dropbox and Skydrive apps in one app, and with more options.
