Netflix Releases Windows 8 App

A major addition to the burgeoning Windows Store.

A week after Microsoft opened its Windows Store app marketplace, we're starting to see some big name apps roll in. Today, Netflix released its Windows 8 app, and it's pretty much what you would expect. It's styled in Windows 8's Modern UI Style, or whatever Microsoft's calling its tile-based user interface, and is made to work with touchscreen devices like tablets or conventional desktop and laptops. 

Anyone using the release to manufacturing (RTM) version Windows 8 can download the app now. Mashable's Christina Warren said the app "looks great and provides easy access to new releases, recommendations and genres." 

WIndows 8 is scheduled to drop on October 26. The Pro version is available for pre-order.
