Windows 8 offers an exciting new way to share information both between apps and to people that you know. If we go to the top-right and I move my mouse down, you'll see the Charms bar. Inside of the Charms bar I have this new icon called Share. If I click on Share, whatever app I am in, I have the ability to share information out into other apps. Let me show you what I mean. If we over here to the Start menu and I click on Weather, it's a nice 56 degrees out here today, and if I go over to the top-right and I hit Share, I can now share that weather with other apps. For example if I want to email someone this weather, I simply click on Mail, a fly-out will come over from the right and I get information directly from the Bing Weather app into email, all set to talk about the weather. If you're using a keyboard you can also hold down Windows and H to bring up Share, or Windows and C to bring up the Charms and then mouse over to share. Our game now has a great scoring and leveling system…
