Windows 8 Client - Working with Applications

Microsoft Windows 8 seems backwards compatible most Windows 7 applications so far. I have below few common applications installed on my Windows 8 client and it works fine, no compatibility issue found and the experience of working with applications on Windows 8 is similar to working on Windows 7.  Perhaps you should give a try and share your experience with me :)
