We're only a few days away from the big moment that the entire America is waiting for, so Microsoft wants you to know that Windows 8.1 is there to help celebrate 4th of July in style with some of the best Metro apps in the store.

The company created a new software category in the store highlighting 4th of July Windows 8.1 apps, including weather tools, cooking apps, travel information programs, hotel reservation utilities and other nifty items that can provide you with more details about America's birthday.

“Happy birthday, America! Prepare yourself for outdoor BBQs, fireworks, and family fun with this collection of patriotic apps,” the description of this new software category that shows up in the store these days reads.

Most of the apps available for download and included in this software category come with support for both desktops and tablets and in most of the cases, they are offered with a freeware license.

As you know, Microsoft creates such temporary subsections of the store with every single occasion, so you might want to hurry up a little bit to see the listed apps before another one takes its place. A total of 17 different parts are currently included in the 4th of July category.
