Windows 8.1 Release Date

DragonRider · 10-21-13, 09:41 AM

The update of 8.1 "bricks" as you say all devices not just some although some users may not notice for sometime.
And as you have to buy the full version of 8.1 is it really worth it ?. Well to be honest yes is the simple answer the beta version of 8.1 runs soooo much better than 8.
And beside that some twit decided to remove the fish from 8.1 load screen and place the stupid blue window again.
So to sum up don't upgrade windows 8 to 8.1 at this time unless you want a world of hurt trying to find out why some of your devices have stopped working

Has anyone heard what's going on with Windows 9? I was told a while back that they were working on it.... Or maybe it's actually 8.1?

W9 Probably not before 2015. And Windows RT and Windows Phone probably will get molten into one OS. Rumour says a W8.2 update will come 2014, and then close the ugly W8 chapter as early as they can.

Rumour also says that from 2017 on, at the earliest, Windows 10 will come and run completely from the cloud.

I hope they get it right with W9. That will be the last Windows version then that I'll maybe buy, winning some years time before switching off Windows over here. Never will there be a time coming when I accept to have my OS being run and launched form a cloud - any "security" then will become a completely meaningless word.
