The New App is included with Windows 8 by default and provides a great way to view and organize your news. I ran this on a Dell Duo PC – which converts between a laptop and tablet. It was a smooth and fluid experience that made reading news easy on both the desktop and table. After setting up my categories, it reminded me of news magazine apps like Flipboard…very groovy.
