Windows 8 CP ships with some quality Metro-style apps. Camera, Photos, Reader, Mail, Calendar, People, Xbox LIVE Games, Solitaire, Xbox Comparison, Pinball FX2, Music, Maps, Video, Finance, SkyDrive, and Weather are some built-in apps that can be launched from the Start screen.

In Windows 8, installing a new Metro-style app is pretty straightforward. Just visit the Windows Store, browse the app, and then install the app you want. Uninstalling a Metro app is even easier. You don’t need to open the traditional Control Panel or Programs and Features to uninstall an app. Jut right-click on the app tile to see the Uninstall command. Clicking on the uninstall command will immediately remove the app and related info from your PC.
