Microsoft has opened pre-orders for Windows 8.1. The update, which will appear a little later, should ease the perception of the new interface that came with Windows 8. The automatic update of the G8 will happen on October 17, the day before the start of Windows 8.1 shipments. Users of Windows 7, in turn, the transition to a new operating system will cost an amount equal to 120 dollars.
Windows 8.1 is not designed to be installed on devices running Windows XP or Vista, Microsoft warns you on the pre-order page of Windows 8.1 and offers to purchase Windows 8 first and then upgrade to version 8.1 for free.
The professional version of Windows 8.1 is also on sale at a price of $ 199.
Especially for those who could not abandon the familiar interface in favor of colored tiles, Microsoft decided to return the Start button and give the opportunity to boot the system in the good old desktop mode.
Today, Windows dominates among personal computer operating systems, while the mobile device market is controlled by iOS and Android, attracting more and more attention from programmers.
With the arrival of Windows 8, and now 8.1, many users are waiting for more secure, energy efficient and easy-to-use tablets, including Surface.
The release of Windows 8.1 will take place a few days before the launch of Surface Pro 2 ($ 899) and Surface 2 ($ 449) for sale - Microsoft’s second attempt to make itself known in the tablet market. The first, as you know, was not very successful. Steve Ballmer, who will soon leave his position at the company, personally acknowledged the failure of Surface.
Saying goodbye to his team, the head of Microsoft danced to the music from "Dirty Dancing" and shouted slogans.
