Yay
Win8.1 works great on my tablet, but sucks balls on my non touch screen laptop. Glad to have these features back in this update to 8.1...or 8.1.1?

Just finished installing it an hour ago... nothing too crazy or anything that makes it easier to use for me...
I guess the "big IE feature-add as well as some heavy-lifting internal changes to Windows boot structures and memory/resource awareness and management" are a good thing!

Nothing like a 2GB+ update Tuesday (with the Office 2013 updates)!

i hate windows 8
i had to install a start button on the taskbar immediately.
i dont think i've ever used the tiles or whatever they are called. they are a nuisance and i cannot be bothered to even try them out
anyone like them?
I use desktop mode exclusively. I'm getting used to not having a start button, the search in metro mode works well.
I'd use Metro mode more if there were actually good apps. The store is so damn bare.

i know the store is bare and all, but in case you guys wanted to add shortcuts to whatever app you want in metro mode that normally aren't available to be "pinned" ..Originally posted by rage2

I removed pretty much any metro app that was installed except I added Netflix and Hulu.
I regret the day I installed Win8 on my primary machine, but after setting everything up I just can't waste the time putting Win7 back on.
I suppose I'm getting used to it, but Metro IMO is a big waste I wish I could uninstall altogether.
We don't put Win8 at any of our clients, and the ones that have it at home run into issues with IE Metro since it runs in x64. I have to send them screencasts on how to open regular IE.
Did anyone else find it actually harder to find programs after the first 8.1 service pack?
As a reseller, MS has been pissing me off for a few years now. I can't wait for someone else to become an industry standard, but I'm thinking that's still a ways off.
Is this free or do you have to pay for the upgrade?

Jesus man, I know you like Transformers, but you need to get out more. No one should get this upset over a movie based on children's toys.

When they updated from 7 to 8 you had to pay, I don't see what the difference is here. I don't understand why you have to pay for some updates and not others, it doesn't make sense.Originally posted by syscal

This update address most of the complaints (from user feedback) and makes it more like traditional desktop windows, aka mouse and kb friendly.
That's what everyone says, but I don't require a start menu to open programs. A more efficient window manager would be sweet, but the ones for Windows are always over-complicated and awkward.Originally posted by revelations

If I could get something for Windows that works as well as Awesome I'd never leave my desk!
The fact that start menu is coming back that MS knew it fucked up.
It's one thing to fuck up tablets and phones where they don't and won't own in the near future. It's another to fuck with bread and butter.
Then again, I would bet businesses will run on Windows 7 until 2020 comes.
All Windows store are jokes for apps.

Yeah the lack of apps is my biggest beef.
A little trash can symbol within a folder would be handy too. when you click a file it puts a check mark on it, so if I had a trash can, it would save me long pressing - I hate the long press for simple shit.
Their marketing has melted your mind, an upgrade and an update are the same thing. When Microsoft created Windows 8 they didn't do it from scratch, they took Windows 7 (simply referred to as their core product) and updated the code to run more efficiently and take advantage of new frameworks. Just because they made the interface different doesn't mean shit, it's still just an update. So I ask again, why do you have to pay for one update and not another? It makes no sense.Originally posted by firebane

No doubt, its like cars, why would you have to pay for the new model year when you already own the same car? The greedy manufacturer just sticks a different looking body on the same chassis and calls it a new thing? They will fix my recalls for free, why is the new car not free? Holy moly I see why simple things are so confusing for you now....Originally posted by Mar
