Hoping to get this stickied or something!
I'm writing this thread purely for the purpose of helping others out, and possibly myself!
Windows 8 comes with the new Windows App Store, and more compatibility with things, so I thought making a new thread with a list for people might be worthwhile! If you wish to add to the list, feel free to post it and I'll add it to this post.
Essential Basic Programs for Home:
•Microsoft Office (2010, 2013)
•Google Chrome
•Windows Media Centre
•Apple iTunes
•Microsoft Zune
•Mozilla Firefox
•Skype
•Steam
•Avast! Free Antivirus (possibly obselete due to Windows Defender in Windows 8)
•Paint.Net
•uTorrent
•to be added•
Essential Programs for Students:
•Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus
•Adobe Creative Suite 6
•AutoDesk AutoCAD Design and Architectural Edition
•uTorrent (not for piracy, but for personal LEGAL file sharing)
•Microsoft Outlook 2013

•Evernote
•Avast! Free Antivirus
