Hey All!

Every since I was given the opportunity to review the Windows Surface Tablet I have really enjoyed the vibrant apps and all the great features of the Surface. I’ve downloaded tons of apps and I was thrilled to learn that some of my favorites are now available on Windows 8. I also love all the capabilities it has with Skydrive.

SkyDrive is Microsoft’s personal cloud storage service, providing over 250 million customers with access to their files, photos and documents across all of their devices and platforms, including Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox, as well as Mac, iOS and Android devices. SkyDrive is directly integrated with Microsoft Office and lets users edit and collaborate on Office documents from any computer with the free Office Web Apps. To put it simply, with SkyDrive you can store more than 7k photos or 14k Office documents in the cloud for free!

You can Share photos and files on SkyDrive.com, you can Fetch Files from your PC, and Embed files directly into your website or blog.

You can do so much as Skydrive. I also recently got the opportunity to get a sneak peak at all the apps that are available and these are some of my favorites.

TimeOut’s city guide apps for Barcelona, London, Los Angeles, New York and Paris will help you get the most out of your favorite city on your Windows 8 device, with tips on the best restaurants, theaters, hotels and places of interest.

My kids are obsessed with Where’s My Mickey. It’s the latest in Disney’s popular casual game franchise is now on Windows 8! Where’s My Mickey? is a new life-like physics-based game from Disney that comes to Windows 8 with stimulating weather mechanics and humorous animations.
