Get Official Google Search and Chrome App for Windows 8

Yesterday I upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 Pro. It was a painless installation. Windows 8 offers users to option to retain their previous settings from Windows 7 or do a clean install. I like using Chrome and use Google and related services a lot. Windows 8 is a Microsoft product and so its not surprising that I see Bing and IE icons / tiles at the start screen. Thankfully Google has introduced a quick simple way for users to download and install Google Search and Chrome on their start screen. How it works: Once you are on the start screen visit the Get Your Google Back page with Internet Explorer. The first install is Google. It installs a cool Google app on the platform. It can be used for voice search and also if you choose to sign-in with your Google account, can help you access all your important Google services like Google+, Reader, Gmail, Map and more. The best feature of it was looking up my search history which can be explored. The next link at the site is to download Chrome from the Windows 8 Store. The first thing I did after downloading Chrome was to make it my default. Finally now I have my Google shortcuts on my Windows 8 Start Screen. Try it out if you are a heavy Google and Chrome user and have recently upgraded to Windows 8. These apps works only on Windows 8 platform and not on the Windows RT versions.
