If you haven't heard the announcement yet - Microsoft released the
new Windows 8.1 update/upgrade today.
It is a free upload for any of you who are using Windows 8 on your
computers, laptops or tablets...
Here is a link to the MSN website that made the announcement this
morning and clearly outlines many of the issues addressed with this
update/upgrade.....
This update is specifically designed to address many of the gripes
people have had with Windows 8, the dramatically different operating system
that attempts to bridge the divide between tablets and PCs.
So again, this Window 8.1 update is free for current owners of
Windows 8; downloads started at 7 am this morning in New York, which
corresponded to the start of Friday in New Zealand.
Simply go to the Windows Store app to find it. Here is the
link for their app store if you don't have it in your favorites...
As they noted in their MSN announcement "it may
take a few hours for updates to reach everyone. Computers with Windows 8.1
already installed will go on sale Friday local time. That's also when people
will be able to buy stand-alone copies of Windows 8.1."
