I followed the getyourgoogleback.com link after watching this video:

However, when I opened the link to the store, I was confronted with this:

I then noticed that in the video the search button is installed first, before the browser. I'm already using the chrome browser, and had it set as default, and for some reason, the only way to access the 'metro' IE10 (searching for it without just takes you to the desktop version, which also doesn't work) is to have it as the default. I set it back by searching 'Default Programs' in the control panel, and then setting IE as the default. I entered the url again, and this time i was presented with the 'view in store' button. Clicking it successfully took me to the page and I now have it installed on my home screen; bye-bye bing :)

Edit: Or just search for it as I found out literally moments ago in this post >.<
