I'm not an expert, but I was under the impression that Windows 8.1 is already rolling back some of the changes from Win 7 -> 8. I'd imagine MS will do a bit more of that and fix some bugs, and for the most part people will just get used to Win 8.
Though I'd love if any of the competitors gained some marketshare out of this. More Linux on the desktop would be a good thing.
- sliverstorm 13y agoWindows 8.1 just eased up on a few of the more extreme UI decisions. They aren't making it into Win 7 again. The Start Menu, for example, is still Metro. All they did was add a button where the start menu used to be that opens the Metro UI, allowing users to open the start menu without swiping or using the Win key.
- dijit 13y agoThey added a button to take you to metro where the start menu used to be. that's the only change I've heard of.
