[GUIDE] Windows 8 Apps: **MetroUI App* *StartMenu App* *BluePoison App**

[stepthehen]

Free & useful apps for Windows 8.

There are a couple of small apps for W8 on a few sites around the Web. I stress they are not my work, any credit needs to go to their authors.
But you can hit the thanks button for putting them all in one place for you!

i can't seem to make the office 15 installer in windows 8...

 

[stepthehen]

There is a 32/64 bit requirement for the Office, not sure which though. Head on to windows8italia for further info.

Whenever I download it directly to my tablet it takes three hours to get to 70% and then finishes soon after that.

Then when I try to open it, it says something is corrupted.

Has anyone else had a similar issue?

No, there's a Problem with Office 15 on Windows 8 only - on my Windows 7 (32 + 64 Bit) it's working.

Guys, I cannot seem to properly RUN Blue Poison, It actually Runs, and identifies my Win8 CP version correctly, but THEMES Tab, has all themes washed out, and nothing happens when I click any of them.

Do I have to enable the HACKS first?
