Five popular apps that Windows 8 supports

Kindle, maybe, the rest i'm not impressed.

Where's the rest of the seafood stew recipe? And what are you reading on the Kindle app, something by David Drake? John Ringo? It looks like some form of military sci-fi.

As an avid Windows user, I cannot wait for Windows 8 to come out. I think they need more app integration. I like evernote, but most importantly I want to be able to use the Mailbird app (getmailbird.com) on Windows 8. Same idea of clean design and integration. I want to be able to integrate my Outlook.com account with Mailbird too, and keep it all managed on my desktop. What other app options does Window 8 plan to support?

What's sad is that this type of list is even needed. While just about every new version of Windows has some sort of compatibility issues, Win8 seems to have more than most. It doesn't bode well for it's success. MS is trying to make it a "must have" for Office 2013, but I don't think that will be enough. I'm curious to see if Win9 gets cranked out quickly the way Win7 followed Vista.

Preach on brother...

I suspect the backlash this time around will dwarf the anti-Vista sentiment

Maybe its just me but the title of this article makes it sound like you can't run all of your windows 7 apps in windows 8. It is like you are saying "Oh Look, here are 5 apps you can actually use in Windows 8" The start Screen has its place but its not all there is to Windows 8.

Its funny to me. I honestly cannot, for the life of me, figure out why so many people are having a hard time using the Windows 8 desktop. Its actually a better experience that Windows 7.
