Windows 8.1 available to download now
Some users are also reporting that the "GA Rollup A" update -which leaked almost a week ago for the x64 version of 8.1- is also now available via Windows Update, so it's likely this is also now being released along with the Core App updates and Windows Store update of 8.1 for Windows 8.
If you do not have Windows 8 installed on your PC (and there's a good chance you don't), you can still update to Windows 8.1 for a fee. Windows XP, Vista, and 7 owners can go to the Windows.com website and download either the Windows 8.1 update for $119.99 or Windows 8.1 Pro for $199.99. However, as we have mentioned before, there is a little workaround that should save people with older Windows operating systems some money if they want to put in some extra effort.
You can find the upgrade in the store of by putting in "ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade]ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade" and hitting enter on your browser.

Rano Don't like Windows 8, Windows 7 was so much easier to use and a better layout.
I never really switched over the windows 8 for this reason. I found that when using Windows 7 i could do things much more efficiently then on windows 8

McCutchenTrickshotRano I'm hearing a lot of people aren't liking Windows 8
Same with me. My brother has it and he said it's pretty nice. I kind of want to get it.
Just tried it and definitelt think Windows 7 is better

Dreams windows 7 is better glad i didnt update
I also think that Windows 7 is the better operating system. Windows 8 is more suited to touch screen devices

Ortho I like windows 8. People just need to get away from the past.
I think the main reason that drew people away is that it looked complicated at first. I'm sure it's easy to get used to.
