Windows 8.1 Release Preview is now available

Lots of things have changed, but it’s still Modern UI on the surface.

still have not upgraded to windows 8 at home or office >< not sure what people think about the OS so far

Why is 8 cheaper than 7?

[z1oc]

maybe they trying to push it out. Or maybe they stoped making win 7 and only producing win 8 keys

Because 8 is only available as an upgrade from a previous version.

Been using it since Jan, and work has even started installing it on new machines.
It doesn't deserve the bad rap it gets. Best point: it's faster than Win 7. Worst point: the App Store sucks balls (but I don't use it).

Is it more or less user-friendly than Win 7? I'm very picky about these OSs having relatively simple-to-use OSs.
Don't like confusing and hard-to-figure-out software programs, unless it's part of my job.
