Windows 8.1 Rolls Out Today · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 17, 2013 @12:44AM from the improvements-abound dept.

The newest iteration of Windows has begun rolling out, and is winning positive reviews. (Here's an in-depth review from Ars, and a more concise one from Wired — both give 8.1 a thumbs-up). Kelerei wrote with the above-linked TechDirt article on the release, noting that it is a staged rollout rather than global. Starting this morning, though, 8.1 is available to some customers. Kelerei writes: "The upgrade is optional (and free) for existing Windows 8 users, though if one looks at the changes, it's hard to imagine why those already on it wouldn't upgrade."

slashdotspeak for astroturfing....
How much did those reviews cost? Who is making those reviews? I'm guessing it's people who earn their living maintaining MS systems.
Yeah, I know, "hater's gonna hate"
