1. Windows playing well with other OS on my laptop. I updated my Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and I could no longer boot into Linux I hadn't used Windows for about 12 years when it came on a new PC that I bought. I installed Steam and played games on it for about 2 months. Then when I upgraded from 8.0 to 8.1 it offered to repair one of my Linux partitions. Thats nice I thought. It was really inconvenient when it overwrote my root linux partition and I had to waste an hour repartitioning and replacing Windows with something a little less aggressive. Maybe in another 12 years things will have improved and I will be able to try it again...
