    Must have apps for windows 8

    I’ll be installing windows 8 this new year and I want to know which are the must have applications. I know choices depend on me as there are so many of them but I want to get a simple list of commonly used apps so that I can install then straight away after installing windows 8. Suggestions regarding this will be grateful.

    You are missing VLC. I will like to inform you that windows 8 cannot lay DVD’s until you add Media center pack which is quite costly. So in that case VLC will be the best alternate as it is an open source cross platform multimedia player that can play DVD, audio cd, VCD and other protocols. It can handle vast number of file formats as well. It plays almost everything you want it to play, its available in windows store for free.
