Advice Request Will you update you present windows OS to Windows 8.1?

[justmad]

Personally, Windows 8 is FAST and RESPONSIVE. Though Windows 8.1 has been improved a lot, I would like to stick to 8 for a little while. 8 is ok, but not as good as 7. So Windows 7 is still my main OS for study and work, 8 at home. Will you update to the newest windows OS or keep using the present OS?

I have an aging XP desktop running like a swiss watch, and a fairly new Win 7 desktop that is humming along just as nice. I have no pressing need to upgrade neither any time soon.

the start button in 8.1 is not the traditional start button. Well, this makes no sense to have one in 8.1.

No change to have 8.1 for me...

I belong to use start8 because I don't like the new button...

I upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. It does not seem too different. I think it is like a big service pack.

I just updated two laptops to 8.1, a Presario that works perfect and a XPS L521x that has a problem with the brightness, I can not adjust it, increase/decrease. It seems that there is an issues with HD4000 graphics driver.
The main laptop (XPS 15z),still with Win 7 & Ubutu/XP/Vista installed on VMware Workstation.

hello

i'm glad i'm waiting to update to Win 8.1 for the time being as i see alot of people have trouble with it
it's not the first time and will not be the last from Microsoft i'v seen it with Win XP sp2 and i'm sure
other SP's also

thay can not guess issues with every combo of software and hardware out there on peoples computers but most forums
i read have someone in trouble in one way or the other and some people could have trouble and not know because the
trouble is something thay do not use often enough to know yet

Windows 8 forum has some

just to name a few places

i know there will always be someone with trouble with this type of upgrade but i'm glad to wait and let Microsoft sort
it out before i jump in so i will just set back and watch for a bit

Pity, MS will stop updating XP in a few months.

Nope. I will be sticking with XP.

Updated from Windows 8 to 8.1 the day it came out and am finding it much better then 8.

 

[justmad]

the new button really makes no sense. I use Start Menu 8 instead.

Many wanted the the Start button back, now MS has improvised and forced the Start Screen on everyone. -Evil Laugh-

So of course it makes no sense to those you prefer the "Start Menu". The new start button is only for the "Start Screen".

Going through reviews and people response on it. Will wait a bit, may take up to a month to decide whether to stick with Windows 8 or update to Windows 8.1.
