… Well, it’s not quite there. But I’m looking at using the available Windows 8.1 images that the busy ISS (Information Systems and Services) Infrastructure Team have been beavering away developing. This has meant quite a bit of a re-engineering of our language software programs to make use of the Windows 8.1 Apps screen to order them in a (fairly) consistent way, by language category.

At present, there is no way within Active Directory Group Policy settings to auto-create or modify Apps Categories and assign existing software to them. I suspect this will come as a later Microsoft feature.

The screenshot below shows how I’ve ordered some of our software into the Windows 8.1 Apps screen view. The Start screen picture has been included to show a bit of how central ISS have customised its look.
