When Windows 8 was released, it wasn't exactly met with an open armed reception. Users (including myself) found it to be very unfamiliar with what we have grown accustomed to for the last couple of decades. It was like new, uncharted territory.
Microsoft's response to our complaints? Windows 8.1. While it is still not as familiar as previous versions of Windows, Windows 8.1 does address several of the major complaints that consumers have made. My favorite, simple as it may be, is the ability to boot straight to desktop. Like most other people, I do not have a touch screen monitor. So the tiles that are designed to accommodate touch screens only serve as clumsy stepping blocks that are far more difficult to use than the conventional desktop. Below is a link to an article by PC World listing "5 Reasons to Upgrade to Windows 8.1". And below that is a link to begin your free upgrade to Windows 8.1.

And here is your link for step by step instructions for the free upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. It is rather easy to do, as I have done it myself. I think that you'll agree that Windows 8.1 really is an improvement worth taking advantage of. It isn't often that Microsoft hands out "freebies". The greedy vampires even went so far as to make you start paying for Windows Media Center. It was included with Windows 7, and now starting with Windows 8 you have to pay extra for it. Perhaps poor Bill Gates needed another jumbo jet in his fleet of 15 planes (I'm just poking fun. I have no clue how many jets Bill Gates owns. LOL)
