Microsoft Download News is a freeware application available in the Windows Store that allows you to stay up to date with the latest downloads released by the Redmond-based technology company.

While the idea behind this project is pretty useful, there still are a bunch of features to be improved, starting with the background image and ending with the available customization options.

The application does display the latest downloads released by Microsoft, but users aren’t allowed to download the files directly or to navigate to the original webpage, so they need to manually search for the selected item.

The good thing is that Microsoft Download News lets you add the selected download to a favorite list in order to access it at a later time. It works on all Windows 8 platforms, including x86, x64 and ARM devices.
