While Microsoft is busy running a 'first apps' competition to get Metro apps into the Windows Store by the time we see the beta of Windows 8 at the end of February, BlueStacks has been updating its Android App Player to work with Windows 8.
It's due to be available once the beta comes out, but we saw it in action on two different AMD tablets from Acer and MSI running the Windows 8 developer preview in a private meeting room at CES 2012.
The big difference is that you'll be able to put icons for individual Android apps right onto the Metro-style Start screen, so you can launch them like any other app.
The BlueStacks App Player isn't a Metro app itself, so when apps launch they run as apps in the Windows desktop, complete with the same BlueStacks toolbar you see at the top of the screen in Windows 7, but you can make them full screen and see little but the app.
