Just finished installing the 8.1 upgrade, underwhelming is the only word I can think of, if they think this is going to pull W8 out of the sewer, then they're sadly mistaken. The upgrade took 5 hours to download and partly install, hanging once during the process, then a further hour to do it's thing setting up. Looks like they managed to sneak what look to be advertising apps in to the interface. I've turned off all active apps for now.
The reinstatement of the "start" button looks to me to be in name only (correct me if I'm wrong) but all roads still seem lead to the totally useless and unloved Metro interface.
The sad thing is that the OS looks to be fast and stable and addresses the need for a touch screen OS but it's a shame MS can't admit their mistakes and give users the options they know and want.
Thank goodness for the Classic Start Shell.
