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.

I still really don't see why people are looking at upgrading from 7 even with this update... I had to get a new laptop recently and the first thing I did with it was wipe the Windows 8 garbage off and install Windows 7.

Go to the app store and the option to update should be the first thing you see!

Windows 7 all the way!
Windows 8 looks disgusting and for me, it's to hard to navigate.
Looks like everything is going towards the 'sharp cornered cubey' look.
