So, the world is going to get an update to the much maligned update to the Windows 8 OS. Windows 8.1 has some major improvements built in and instead of just giving you the Microsoft spin on this, here’s the highlights of what you need to know:
- The Start menu is coming back to Windows, but not in Windows 8.1 Update. It will show up in a future update.
- You can boot and resume directly to the Desktop.
- You can also dock Windows Store apps directly in the Desktop taskbar. Thus you can avoid the Metro interface if you want to.
- Close and minimize buttons back to apps in Windows 8.1.
- Power and search buttons have been made stationary on the Start screen.
- Windows 8.1 Update will be released on April 8th and it is free.
So, if you’re running Windows 8, will you be updating to Windows 8.1?
