“When they needed an new PC, Windows 8 has driven everyone I know to Apple.”

I’ve seen a lot of that too. It’s partly because people don’t know that W7 PCs are plentifully available because the only source of PCs most people know about is Best Buy, and Best Buy refuses to sell W7 PCs.

Also, many people decided if they were going to be forced to learn something radically new, then this would be the perfect time to break away from Microsoft forever. W8 was THE perfect OS to drive long-time loyal customers away.

I’ve using Windows 8.1 for several months for a variety of productive uses, and it works quite well for me.

So, it would make sense for me to update from 8 to 8.1? No unpleasant surprises, like there were when 8 came on my new PC?

A *large* proportion of the IT keeps their jobs by intentional bugs.

And you'll have a hard time convincing me that a lot of the viruses are not created by people hired by the anti-virus sellers.
