Among the various new features in Windows 8, the most important has to be the Store. From here, users can download a host of apps to enhance their PC and get things done.

With more apps coming to the Windows Store every day, you’re bound to find something interesting that you’d want to share with your friends. Windows has a built-in Share feature using which you can directly share an app from the Store to any of your connected social account and via Mail. From the same interface, we can get the link to the app as well, here’s how:
