Got Windows ⁸⁄₈.1 for my laptop. This OS is really designed from the bottom up for a phone/tablet. The user interface is very much touch screen oriented. At least with 8.1 it now boots to the desktop instead of the tiled start screen. Media player is gone, unless you buy the pro version or pay extra bucks to purchase it separately. My wife’s biggest complaint is that you can not play any of the games unless you are logged on to the Internet. Even single player games like Solitare will not run unless you have an Internet connection. Guess I’ll wait and see what Windows 9 looks like before updating my desktop computers. (If I wanted a tablet OS, I would stick with Android based. It is SO much faster than Windows 8).
