Microsoft News is a free app for Windows 8 that can be downloaded from the Microsoft app store. Some OS editions have this utility built into them.

This is a news reader that automatically provides the latest information from your favorite websites in a clean and modern environment that is smoothly integrated into the Start Screen through the Pin feature.

The tool supplies daily headlines from the Bing website, and lets you search for new sources (e.g. international headlines) or add your own ones (e.g. software, games, gadgets, hobbies). It is possible to add as many sections as you want, and seamlessly navigate them using the mouse cursor or arrow keys.

As far as settings are concerned, you can change the app and content language, clear history for news sources, customize the text font to adjust it to your Windows 8 device, download news for offline reading or share it with your friends, as well as drag the entire app frame to the left or right side of the screen, in order to read news while carrying on with normal activity on the computer.

The Microsoft app is very light on the system resources, using low CPU and RAM. It has a good reaction speed and includes smooth GUI animations. No errors were shown in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash.  In conclusion, Microsoft News is a very nice addition to any Windows 8 user who wants to be up-to-date with the latest news in an elegant manner.
